Detective Constable Transferee - CID

We are looking for talented and inspirational people who put the needs of the public at the heart of everything that they do and who want to make a difference. If you feel you are that person then we want to hear from you., We are looking for officers who see themselves as risk managers and can make difficult decisions that stand up to scrutiny.

For this, officers will need to be comfortable using the tools such as the National Decision Model and THRIVE, which help you to understand the problem, assess the risk and tackle the issues. The problem solvers, the curious and the tenacious. People who have the desire to follow every lead, discover the truth and seek results. Emotionally resilient and compassionate, you will need to stay calm in the face of adversity and build relationships with those who may be the victim or witness of a serious or violent crime.

You will have to critically analyse the evidence, establishing the facts which will be used to obtain justice in court. Our CID teams carry out proactive investigations into complex and serious crimes across the county. These are located in Brighton, Chichester, Crawley, Eastbourne, Hastings and Worthing.
