The Eastern Region Special Operations Unit supports seven forces to include Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent, Norfolk and Suffolk. The Sensitive Intelligence Unit is at the heart of driving the Eastern Region’s Regional Organised Crime Unit (ROCU) in identifying the threat from serious and organised crime and delivering specialist covert policing capabilities to tackle the highest threats in the region.

The Regional Organised Crime Threat Assessment Unit (ROCTA), within the SIU, is made up of research and analytical staff. ROCTA is responsible for the assessment and mapping of OCGs and other serious crime threats, along with scoping and understanding the strategic threat to the Eastern Region from serious and organised offenders.

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join ERSOU ROCTA as an Intelligence Researcher. We are seeking experienced intelligence staff who are looking for a new and exciting challenge. This role will be working as part of the team to ensure the Eastern Region has the best understanding of Organised Crime Groups and other threats impacting upon the area. This presents a great opportunity to broaden existing skills, work in covert policing and to operate at the forefront of advancements in intelligence work.
