About our staff roles

Administration plays a key role across our organisation. From business support officers who support our Chief Officer team, to department-based administrators who keep our policing functions running smoothly, these roles are critical to ensure we operate efficiently and effectively.

Change at a local, regional and national level is driven by our business change and transformation team who bring in and implement new ideas within our constabulary. They support various departments to help maintain consistency, expand the departments capacity to handle multiple projects efficiently and ensure resilience and responsiveness to new challenges.

It is made up of a huge variety of roles including emergency call handlers, dispatchers, switchboard, fraud triage officers, tactical firearms commanders, front counter staff, real-time intelligence officers, the Contact Resolution Incident Management (CRIM) team and business systems admin support.

The principle of policing by consent relies on the trust and confidence that the public has in the police service. The Professional Standards Directorate plays an important role in the maintenance of that trust and confidence, which can be undermined by a failure to handle complaints, undertake misconduct and corruption investigations and instigate prosecution and/or disciplinary proceedings where there is a case to answer.
