The Detective Inspector will lead the TOEX operating model within the NWROCU. We are seeking an experienced Inspector who will lead the regional team developing new ways of working, which is essential to the success of the TOEX programme.

Capabilities include undercover policing, specialist surveillance, and cyber-crime investigation.

ROCUs investigate and disrupt organised crime groups operating across police force boundaries, additionally they act as an important point of connection between police forces and the National Crime Agency (NCA).

Grant funded to 31 March 2025, the TOEX team represent a unique opportunity to deliver a unique intelligence and performance framework specific to tackling exploitation. The successful candidate will have a personal development plan which will build on their current knowledge and skills – and provide a clear learning pathway to realise their full potential.

The successful candidate will be supporting brand new ways of working – be integral to ground-breaking collaborations - and contribute to the disruption of organised networks built upon exploitation.
