ERSOU – Who we are and what we do

The Eastern Region Special Operations Unit (ERSOU) oversees and delivers a regional level response to Serious and Organised Crime made up of both Police Officers and Police Staff who work closely with police forces and partners. Each department offers an opportunity to work and develop professionally within specialist areas, often delivering capabilities beyond the scope of local forces.

The region also delivers a response, again made up of both Officer and Staff, to support the Prevent, Pursue, Prepare and Protect CONTEST pillars and CT Borders Policing, alongside a partnership arrangement with the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command regarding investigations.

Working for ERSOU presents a fantastic opportunity for you to learn and develop within a unique law enforcement community whose staff and officers are dedicated to protecting the public from the threat of terrorism and serious and organised crime.
