Scotland Yard vice squad gets new politically correct name

WELL, IF THEY'RE TRYING TO CONFUSE EVERYONE ...... I THINK IT'S WORKING

Scotland Yard's Vice Squad has been given a new name, which certainly does not evoke the same image. It is now officially known as Serious Crime Directorate 9: Human Exploitation and Organised Crime Command, or SCD9.

Catchy ......... eh ?

The Obscene Publications Unit, also known as the "Dirty Squad", is also part of the SCD9.

The Vice Squad was established in 1932 as "8 Area Clubs and Vice Unit." During World War ll it temporarily operated out of a pub because its headquarters was being used by the Aliens Registration Office.
