Investigators on the Economic Crime Investigation Team (ECIT) within the RECCU can deal with a diverse range of organised financial crime investigations including unique methodologies used by organised crime groups involved in Fraud and Money Laundering. Criminal cases are regularly adopted by the team in accordance with the control strategy and, amongst other activities, regularly involves tackling professional enablers that provide crime groups with the infrastructure to conceal the proceeds of crime.

The team works closely with a number of capabilities across the SWROCU as well as with partner agencies. Work will take investigators across borders within the region and sometimes nationally. ECIT Investigators are encouraged to develop their expertise around key legislation such as the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and share their knowledge.
