Job description
This vacancy is for Transferee Detective Constable
Are you a dedicated and skilled investigator with a passion for disrupting serious and organised crime? We are looking for a Detective Constable to join our Fraud and Cyber Team within the Economic Crime Unit based at Leamington.
Fraud makes up half of all reported crime in the UK. Adults are statistically more likely to be a victim of fraud than any other crime type. Vulnerable victims can lose their entire life savings, and the psychological and emotional damage caused can be enormous.
The proceeds from fraud and cybercrimes are often used to fund serious organised crime, including terrorism. Working as part of a national network, we are dedicated to disrupting various forms of high-harm fraud, including investment fraud, romance fraud, payment diversions, hackings, ransomware attacks, and associated money laundering activities.
Responsibilities:
- Investigate complex fraud and cybercrime cases, including romance fraud, courier fraud, account hackings, and cyber-attacks.
- Identify and investigate frauds forming part of a linked series.
- Work closely with other law enforcement agencies, financial institutions, and private sector partners, as part of a national network to combat economic crime.
- Support persons vulnerable to fraud and economic crime, providing Protect advice and promoting a wide range of safeguarding options.
- Conduct financial enquiries and provide expert advice and support to colleagues across the force.
Requirements:
- A keen investigator with a high level of integrity, professionalism, and commitment to public service.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage complex investigations.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with internal and external partners.
Desirable:
Proven experience as a Detective Constable, preferably within an economic or serious and organised crime team.
Proficiency in digital forensics and cyber investigation tools.
- Knowledge of relevant laws, regulations, and investigative techniques related to fraud and cybercrime.
To have attended the Economic Crime Specialist Investigators Programme (previously Specialist Fraud Investigator Course)
Be accredited as an NCA Financial Intelligence Officer (FIO).
Don’t be put off it you don’t meet the ‘desirables’. You will receive specialist training in investigating fraud and cybercrimes, plus regular access to CPD events.
If you are interested in this exciting opportunity to make a real impact in the fight against economic crime, please complete an application form detailing your relevant experience and motivation for applying.
