National Trading Standards Regional Investigations Teams

The National Trading Standards Regional Investigations Teams tackle complex or large-scale investigations identified by the Local Authority Trading Standards Services in their own region. They target organised criminals typically involved with doorstep crime, counterfeiting, consumer and business fraud and other related crime. The Regional Investigations Teams operate across England and Wales through eight regionally based teams covering:

• Central England Trading Standards Authorities (CeNTSA)
• North East Trading Standards Authorities (NETSA)
• Trading Standards East Midlands (TSEM)
• Trading Standards North West (TSNW)
• Tri Region, on behalf of Trading Standards South East Ltd (TSSEL), East of England Trading Standards Association (EETSA) and London Trading Standards authorities (LTS)
• Trading Standards South West (TSSW)
• Yorkshire and Humber Trading Standards Group (YAHTSG) and
• Wales Heads of Trading Standards (WHoTS)
