The Intelligence Analyst is responsible for undertaking operational and investigative analysis, providing direction and recommendations. The Analyst will be required to support investigations right through to the court process producing evidential standard documents and attending judicial proceedings (Crown Court) to explain their analysis. Provision of advice and support in respect of analytical issues is key along with developing own knowledge and skills to support investigations.
