The Australian Federal Police (AFP) yesterday finalised the restructuring of its high tech crimes division, with the announcement that the force's final two independent technical units have been amalgamated with High Tech Crimes Operations.

Team (OCSET) until June last year,
when the two merged to become Australian Federal Police High Tech

commissioner Andrew Colvin.
