ABOUT US
The London Regional Asset Recovery Team (London RART) is a multi agency team that serves and supports a broad range of law enforcement and local government agencies in the London area. Our core business is the conduct of confiscation and money laundering investigations on behalf of our partners. Our aim is to reduce harm to London's communities by tackling criminal activity through their finances and assets.
Our team consists of specialist police officers and staff, which have been drawn from the Metropolitan Police Service, the City of London Police, Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs, and the Crown Prosecution Service. We also work in close partnership with the Serious Organised Crime Agency and the National Police Improvement Agency. We also our share knowledge and experience with the four other Regional Asset Recovery Teams, and vice-a-versa.
The thirty strong team is headed by Acting Detective Chief Inspector Ella Marriott, a senior ranking Metropolitan Police officer. She is assisted by two team leaders, Paul Clements and Alison Cooper (detective sergeants from the Metropolitan Police), who together manage the team on a day to day basis.
All of the investigation staff are fully trained as financial investigators and are dedicated to that role. In addition to that, the majority of the team's members are accredited by the Chief executive of the National Police Improvement Agency to use the powers proscribed under section 2 of the Proceeds of Crime Act, 2002. All members of the team have the powers conferred under section 8 of the Proceeds of Crime Act, 2002.
