Welcome to the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency (SCDEA).

What we do - Our police officers and support staff contribute to the fight against organised crime in a number of areas, including:

Operations - Our operations team strives to bring to justice those involved in serious organised crime by arresting individuals, seizing drugs and identifying cash and assets for restraint.

Intelligence - Gathering relevant and robust intelligence provides a picture of the most serious criminals and the scope of their illegal activity, which informs the nature of our responses.

Interventions - The Interventions Unit works with law enforcement agencies and the public, private and voluntary sectors to create innovative techniques to reduce opportunities for organised crime.

Scottish Money Laundering Unit - The Scottish Money Laundering Unit (SMLU) conducts money laundering investigations and identifies the assets of criminals for potential confiscation by the courts.

Scottish Witness Liaison Unit - Witnesses involved in the criminal justice system can be the subject of intense intimidation. The Scottish Witness Liaison Unit (SWLU) provides support to these witnesses to ensure they are able to provide their evidence to the court.

e-Crime - Reflecting the growth of communication technology, the e-crime unit tackles the hi-tech criminal, who facilitates activity through the use of computers and other information technology.

Working with us

The SCDEA will offer you a challenging, but highly rewarding opportunity for career development.

We offer a variety of secondment tenures and welcome applications from all serving police officers. CID experience is not always essential. The changing nature of organised crime means we need people with a range of skills to fill various roles across Scotland.

We are particularly keen to hear from female police officers and support staff because we believe a representative workforce is important to enhance the quality and impact of our work.
