The Home Office and operational law enforcement partners are actively participating in the recently agreed EU organised crime priorities, which include the illicit trafficking of firearms and component parts (such as ammunition). The National Ballistic Intelligence Service (NABIS) and other law enforcement agencies from the UK (such as the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) and United Kingdom Border Force (UKBF)) also regularly liaise with European partners, including Europol, exchanging information and intelligence on ballistics, as necessary.
