Trevor Pearce and Peter Davies have been named Director Designate of Operations and Director Designate of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Command respectively, while David Armond has been appointed Director Designate of the agency's Border Policing Command.

Trevor Pearce and Peter Davies will carry out their NCA roles in addition to current responsibilities in the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) and Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP).

Keith Bristow, who was appointed NCA Director General in October 2011, welcomed the announcement. He said:

'These three appointments are crucial to the ongoing design and implementation of the NCA. Trevor, Peter and David are influential crime fighters who bring a wealth of experience. They will not only help to shape the agency we want and need, but will ensure a smooth transition into a truly national crime agency which delivers the very best public protection. I am delighted to have all three of them on the team.'
