About the role 

The Organised Crime Unit for the West Midlands Region 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 Regional Organised Crime unit West Midlands (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.

We are looking for exceptional candidates who are experienced and confident supporting all areas of analysis including tactical, investigative and strategic, leading identification of emerging trends and linked series in respect of CViT and ATM criminality nationally. You will work collaboratively with a number of partners across industry and law enforcement to drive this area of business.  

You must be fully conversant with the National Intelligence Model, have substantial experience of working within an analytical environment and using analytical techniques to produce assessments to target organised acquisitive crime.
