Introduction
Counter Terrorism Policing North West (CTPNW) is a five-force collaboration delivering Counter Terrorism (CT) services to our regional forces as well as forming part of the national CT Network. CTPNWs mission is to work together to keep people safe from terrorism.
We are looking for a committed and outstanding individual who can support CTPNW in achieving its mission.
Information about the specific role
The FIMU is the backbone of Counter Terrorism Policing and regular liaison with other CTP teams, local policing, and external partners is routine. The Merseyside FIMU is comprised of two teams of officers and staff, each led by a Detective Sergeant or an Intelligence Supervisor.
As the front door into CTPNW, the FIMU is responsible for the assessment of incoming intelligence to determine CT relevancy and assess the necessity for any further action or development. FIMU assessors also jointly covertly investigate cases of national security concern alongside partners in the UK intelligence community.
As an assessor in one of the two FIMU teams, you will work alongside colleagues, manage your own casework and jointly investigate matters of National Security with Intelligence partners, to understand and mitigate threats to UK National Security. The role is shift based, with a requirement to work nights, (On average two sets of nights per year).
A common misconception is that CTP rarely recruit into roles such as this when the candidate hasnt previously worked in a CT environment or has no experience of working in a covert role. This is not the case - candidates from a variety of backgrounds and with diverse professional experience are encouraged to apply. A full induction and training package will be provided to the successful candidate.
Effective communication, teamwork, and a proactive attitude are vital attributes. The successful post-holder should also possess an investigative mindset, with an understanding of intelligence handling and the ability to effectively assess threat and risk.
