These posts are an exciting opportunity for experienced investigators with a strong background in dealing with complex investigations expeditiously to form part of a dynamic team.
The Public Complaints Team deal with complex investigations made by the public involving BCH Police Officers and staff. It can be a stressful environment with a high workload demanding high quality paperwork and file submission, as we deal with legally qualified professionals and other outside agencies such as the IOPC and the Crown Prosecution Service.

As a PSD Investigator you will investigate a wide variety of complaints made by the public. Your duties will encompass a wide range of investigative activities including but not limited to, statement taking, securing and reviewing evidence, log keeping, interviewing, file building, full Officer in Case (OIC) responsibilities which may include attending court and giving evidence if an employee has committed a criminal offence.
