About the role


The Police Asset Recovery Unit's primary roles are to deny criminals the opportunity to benefit from their offending or the ability to re-invest in criminal activity.

The Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) Act 2009 is a relatively new piece of legislation.

New case law is being set constantly, and you will be encouraged to use your initiative and explore ways of using the Act to recover criminal gains.


Your role will involve reviewing and assessing a variety of alleged criminal offending, conducting financial profiles of identified targets, overseeing detailed financial investigations identifying ownership and/or beneficial ownership of assets, as well as determining and quantifying legitimate/illegitimate income on an evidential basis to advance Court proceedings restraining and forfeiting assets derived from the spoils of crime.


Key Accountabilities:

  • Work together with investigation teams targeting serious criminal activity
  • Interact with members of the local and international financial business community
  • Manage reactive and proactive investigations
  • Prepare and present (written and verbal) information in a clear and concise way
  • Prepare and execute production orders, search warrants and examination orders
  • Ability to prioritise to ensure risk is managed
  • Carry out effective interviews
  • Possess and demonstrate strong time management skills with an ability to plan and prioritise investigations as required
  • Ensure delivery and service of documentation to clients.

What you'll bring

The applicant will also be able to critically analyse financial data alongside criminal investigations to isolate and extract relevant information and present their findings with confidence in written documentation, as well as the ability to confidently give their evidence in court.


Internal and external partnerships and working collaboratively are a key focus and the successful applicant can expect to be heavily involved in investigations associated with multiple departments within Police and across our external partners.
