Investigator, Serious Economic Crime Unit (ERSOU)

ERSOU is the Eastern Region Special Operations Unit, that oversees and delivers a regional level response to Serious and Organised Crime, and Counter Terrorism Policing for the Forces in the Eastern Region. ERSOU is made up of both Officers and Police Staff from across the entire region, and works closely with the 7 Forces and National Partners. The departments are unique, in that they can offer opportunities to work and develop individuals professionally in specialist areas, often delivering capabilities that are provided by local forces.

Applications are invited from experienced investigators for a role within Eastern Regional Special Operations Unit (ERSOU) for vacancies on the Serious Economic Crime Unit (SECT) investigating complex economic crime.

ERSOU SECT officers and staff conduct proactive and reactive investigations into serious and complex fraud and other linked financial criminality to include bribery and corruption across a wide range of economic crime typologies that have a significant regional or national impact and/or linked to organised crime.

The post is open to suitably experienced and qualified applicants who have a proven track record in dealing with serious and complex criminal investigations. An ideal candidate would have an understanding regarding fraud and money laundering typologies, as well as experience in both proactive and reactive criminal investigations.

Applicants will be expected to complete training to become accredited specialist fraud investigators (if this has not previously been achieved). Advancement to pay scale PO2 is dependent on completion of this training.
