About the role:

The Organised Crime Unit for the West Midlands Regional is a collaboration between the police forces of Staffordshire, West Midlands, West Mercia and Warwickshire to fight organised crime across the region.  The aim of the ROCUWM is to reduce the impact and increase the disruption of serious and organised crime within the region and beyond. 

We target those areas of criminality we believe pose the greatest regional threats to the people and businesses of the area we cover. Working alongside other UK law enforcement agencies and many other partners from both private and public sectors, the ROCUWM will directly influence the capabilities of these groups, stifling and reducing their criminal activity.

Applications are invited from constables who have successfully completed the ICIDP programme or whom have completed the national investigators exam and can demonstrate progression towards completion of ICIDP portfolio.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join an existing hardworking and professional team of officers in a fast paced, bespoke area of policing, working regionally and with national and international law enforcement agencies.  We are keen to explore potential applicants from a diverse range of backgrounds who will bring a new and innovative investigative mind-set. 

Our operational teams currently work from three sites across the Region, namely Stafford (North), Birmingham (Central) and Defford (Southern).
