The focus of the role will be in disrupting fraud and digital asset crime by building strong partnerships with internal teams and external agencies, and reducing crime through consistent, high quality and effective preventative messaging and solutions.
Working for the Met doesn’t have to mean patrolling the streets. Just as important as our uniformed officers is our 14,000-strong team of professional and support staff working behind the scenes. It’s these skilled people who provide the organisational capability to police London.
Duties and Responsibilities:
Developing and maintaining effective partnerships with law enforcement agencies, regulators, businesses and community organisations to increase resilience against fraud and digital asset crime.
Identifying and assessing groups vulnerable to fraud and digital asset crime, either as victims or suspects, and designing and delivering targeted preventative initiatives
Leading evidence-based projects and multi-agency operations to tackle emerging threats; briefing internal teams and partner agencies to secure joint delivery.
Monitoring and evaluating the impact of crime prevention projects; providing recommendations to refine and improve outcomes.
Working with partners to identify vulnerabilities in systems and providing suggestions for mitigation.
Producing and delivering high-quality awareness materials, presentations and reports for internal and external stakeholders, ensuring prevention messages remain current and evidence-based.
Reviewing crime methodologies and data trends to develop and implement strategies that disrupt criminality and minimise community risk.
Providing safeguarding support and tailored advice to victims at risk of repeat victimisation, ensuring timely intervention and protection.
Keeping up to date with knowledge of national strategies, fraud legislation and digital asset regulation, applying this to shape project delivery and stakeholder engagement.
Who we're looking for:
We’re seeking dynamic, proactive people who thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments and bring enthusiasm and motivation to problem-solving and creative thinking; driving the design and implementation of innovative crime prevention initiatives.
Essential:
Stakeholder engagement skills, including the ability to build and influence relationships with victims, communities and businesses, as well as internal and external partners quickly to reduce crime and prevent re-victimisation.
Ability to work independently on projects, identify opportunities for development, prioritise competing demands and meet deadlines under pressure.
Quick to learn with a forward-thinking mindset to anticipate future needs and contribute new ideas.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to brief diverse stakeholders and deliver high-quality reports and presentations.
Ability to review crime methodologies and data to identify trends, risks and prevention opportunities; summarising varied data sources in an accurate, concise way and presenting findings to support decision-making.
Experience of developing and delivering multi-team projects or operations to tackle crime threats.
Competence in using Microsoft Office and analytical/research tools; able to learn MPS systems (e.g., CONNECT, IIP, NFIB) to research, evaluate and present data.
Accredited Financial Intelligence Officer (FIO) with access to ARENA (or willingness to achieve within probation period). This requires an enhanced level of vetting.
Full UK driving licence to enable travel and equipment transportation to events and stakeholder meetings.
Desirable:
Understanding of national and local strategies and structures for tackling fraud and digital asset crime and how they shape project delivery.
Experience of working in environments that identify and respond to victim vulnerability and grading risk appropriately.
