The Role & Key Responsibilities

From your first day with us you will be part of a policing family making a real difference.

It is our mission to identify and protect vulnerable people, prevent and respond to harm and keep people safe.

You will review Hate Crime and Hate and ASB Risk Assessments (HARAs) submitted by our teams and identify cases that require a multi-agency problem solving approach and safeguarding to reduce harm to victims.
