Specialist Investigator - Asset Recovery Unit

Based at Greenlane, Auckland

Band H

Police Employee (Authorised Officer)

Permanent, full time

JR 4661361

Mō te tūnga | About the role

The Asset Recovery Unit (ARU) is a part of the Financial Crime Group of the New Zealand Police. The unit’s primary roles are to deny criminals of the opportunity to benefit from their offending, or the ability to re-invest in criminal activity. Police do this by taking away their “ill-gotten gains” and making sure that crime really doesn’t pay.

International trends among law enforcement agencies indicate that recovering assets is often more successful as a deterrent than the criminal prosecution. New Zealand Police are invested in capitalising on this prevention tool and the workgroup is expanding.

The Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) Act 2009 is a relatively new piece of legislation based on civil court processes, meaning you will be working on the “balance of probabilities”. New case law is being obtained constantly and you will be encouraged to push the boundaries, use your initiative and explore ways of using the Act to recover criminal gains.

In the Northern Asset Recovery Unit you will be part of a team based in Auckland. We are looking for an investigator who can manage reactive and proactive investigations, working closely with the criminal investigation teams targeting serious criminal activity. You will prepare and execute court orders, conduct interviews, assess evidence of criminality and complete detailed financial investigations to identify assets, quantify illegitimate income and seek forfeiture through preparation of affidavits to the High Court.

**Key accountabilities**:
Build and maintain partnerships both internally and externally;
Good written and verbal skills with the ability to prepare court orders and affidavits in a clear and concise manner;
Manage time effectively to complete multiple investigations and meet deadlines;
Manage competing demands and a high workload;
Keep accurate and detailed records of all information and decisions;
Prepare, manage and/or investigate serious and complex cases;
Manage risk in relation to criminal investigations;
Maintain a flexible schedule to allow for warrant executions and terminations.

Our Core Competencies provide a shared understanding of the behaviours, leadership and technical competence required for success at each level of Police. Whilst we are looking for skills, knowledge and experience relevant to the role, we also place high importance on your state of mind, the alignment of your values with ours, your ability to contribute to and build high performing teams, and the way that you lead yourself or others.

We are looking for an investigator who has broad investigative knowledge and experience. A previous financial background, experience with financial investigations or an understanding of financial matters would be advantageous. 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 personally in a court environment.

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.
