Do you have the leadership, integrity and investigative expertise to tackle corruption, protect organisational integrity and safeguard public trust? An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Detective Inspector within the Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU). This is a pivotal leadership role responsible for leading the force's response to corruption-related threats, intelligence development and proactive investigations. The successful candidate will oversee complex, sensitive and often covert enquiries relating to police corruption, abuse of position, information breaches, inappropriate associations, dishonest conduct and other matters that threaten public confidence in policing.
