You will provide specialist support to investigations through the examination of digital media for the purpose of identifying victims, offenders, and locations to maximise safeguarding of victims which will fundamentally contribute to our priority of bringing offenders to justice. Although challenging and demanding, this is an extremely rewarding role – a statement very few occupations can make.

What will I be doing?

·       Supporting and providing specialist investigative advice to officer’s force wide to inform suspect and victim-based interventions.

·       Delivering presentations to partner agencies including schools.

·       Conducting visits and providing guidance and advice to parents and children identified at risk.

·       Completing and disseminating identification bulletins.

·       Liaising with national/ international law enforcement.

     
There will be a daily requirement to review and categorise suspected indecent images of children.

 

You will liaise with investigating officers, specialists, and partner agencies to maximise identification opportunities and ensure safeguarding of children. You will also be required to provide evidential reports, statements, and testimony at court where necessary.

 

What do I need?

 ·       Investigative experience – PIP level 2 is desirable.

 ·       Previous experience using software applications to problem solve.

 ·       Excellent communication and organisational skills

·       You will need to have the resilience to regularly deal with abusive and offensive imagery of extreme violence, obscenity, and depravity
