Police Constable - Intelligence Officer

The South East Regional Organised Crime Unit (SEROCU) has an opening for an Intelligence Officer (PCs) in the Sensitive Intelligence Unit (SIU).

The SIU is a unique function in South East Policing who provide intelligence support to operations in Force, ROCU and across partners and no two days are the same.

We support operations in the highest harm and threat areas, exploiting and enhancing intelligence from multiple sensitive data sources, including the interception of communications from Targeted Intercept (TI) and Targeted Equipment Interference (TEI), to problem solve and maximise enforcement opportunities.

Identifying risks and threats to people is also a key part of the role. We provide intelligence support to assist in the prevention and management of Threats to Life (TTL) in order to safeguard vulnerable people.

Due to the high harm and threat the SIU operate in, the department can often be an exhilarating and fast-moving working environment. We work with innovative technology and constantly evolve to keep up with the ever-growing complexity and sophistication of organised crime.

As a member of SIU staff, you will work to exploit all relevant information from sensitive intelligence sources in order to produce actionable and timely intelligence so that SEROCU can continue to disrupt organised criminals who pose the highest risk to the UK.

Whether it is identifying and disseminating intelligence around firearms, cash or a drugs handover, an organised immigration crime attempt, or an opportunity to identify a person of interest, the input of SIU staff ensures that when the operational teams deploy, they achieve the greatest impact and value to an investigation. You can expect a varied and fulfilling career within this business area.
