The Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency (SCDEA) is a police agency in Scotland responsible for disrupting and dismantling serious organised crime groups; by taking the profit out of such crime and reducing the demand for such products. It works alongside other Scottish police forces and is answerable to Scottish Ministers through the Scottish Police Services Authority. The Director of the agency is responsible to Scottish Ministers and the Scottish Parliament for financial and administrative matters. Some functions are shared with the UK national Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA), but SOCA requires permission from the SCDEA or the Lord Advocate to conduct certain operations.
