The County Lines Programme was launched by the Home Office in November 2019 to tackle the most harmful and exploitative drug supply model yet seen. The programme includes investment in law enforcement intensification, primarily focused in the police force areas from which the majority of county lines originate.
This annual data covers line closures, arrests and safeguarding referrals since the programmes inception in 2019.
