Australian Federal Police commissioner Reece Kershaw has accused un-named nations of helping organized criminals to use technology to commit and launder the proceeds of crime, and called for international collaboration to developer technologies that counter the threats that behaviour creates.

Kershaw's remarks were made at a meeting of the Five Eyes Law Enforcement Group, the forum in which members of the Five Eyes intelligence sharing pact - Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the UK and the USA - discuss policing and related matters.

Innovators and tech pioneers are the future of law enforcement.

Kershaw suggested Five Eyes law enforcement agencies need to develop more technology to fight back.

While we will always need the muscle to kick down the door, our brains' trust - like our innovators and our tech pioneers - are among the future of law enforcement.

"And let's not discount the psychological effect we have on organized crime when they know the Five Eyes is watching."
