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. Our staff work to the Government’s CONTEST strategy under the four pillars of Prevent, Protect, Prepare and Pursue. We use a functional model with Senior Responsible Officers, line manged by the CT Head, leading areas of Investigations, Intelligence, Business Services, Borders, Special Projects, Prevent and Change.
CTPNW’s mission is to work together to keep people safe from terrorism. Our priorities focus us to drive business through performance, improvement and transformation so we can continue to counter the ever-changing threat of terrorism and extremism. Operational oversight and governance is managed by the CT ACC and the CT Head coordinates delivery against the four strands of CONTEST strategy (Prevent, Protect, Pursue and Prepare) in collaboration with local policing teams and other partner agencies. At the heart of CTPNW is our people, we are committed to continuing to make the CTPNW a great place to work.
For us to reduce the risk and threat of terrorism and protect the public, our people need to be at their best. They can only be at their best if they are able to be themselves at work and are supported through development and learning within their current role and future roles within the network.
The main focus of this technical officer role is to support the ‘Detention and Examination of Electronic Devices’ (DEED) that are detained at borders in order to determine involvement in terrorism.
This will involve working to an evidential standard to extract data from devices, the continuity of the data and exhibits and completing initial triage of that material.
Full training will be given regarding CTPNW processes, databases and software however the candidate must be able to display technical competence from previous roles and experience in line with the job description requirements.
The role is based at Manchester airport working Monday to Friday day shifts (there is flexibility in the shift times) with travel to support and deliver training in the Merseyside hub.
Please contact DS Dave Hayes at Dave.Hayes@GMP.police.uk or on 07500064420 for further information about the role.
