Role
Would you like to make a real difference in the safety and wellbeing of Merseide's communities? As an Intelligence Analyst, you'll play a vital role in understanding and interpreting the complex crime challenges facing our region - translating data into clear, actionable insights that shape operational decisions and strategic direction. You will be at the heart of intelligence-led policing, using analytical techniques to cut through complexity, eliminate bias, and provide objective assessments that drive impactful outcomes. Analysts work at all three NIM levels, from assessing and prioritising tactical local policing area issues to regional/cross border issues in collaboration with national law enforcement agencies, to strategic assessments that help set the force priorities and resourcing.
Responsibilities
* Proactive liaison with customers to establish their intelligence requirements, agreeing terms of reference for tasking and managing expectations by prioritising workload based on threat, harm and risk.
* Support local and specialist Investigations teams, including quick time profiling of offenders, analysis of data to provide leads and sequence events for easy comprehension and evidential submission.
* Scanning and assessment of crimes and intelligence across a local area or thematic subject area to prioritise issues for deployment and further action.
* Collaboration with CSD and partners to produce large scale in-depth assessments of thematic areas to identify themes and assist force leads and partners in strategic planning.
* Assessment of Organised Crime Groups and their impact on the communities where they operate, working closely with Plan Managers, local policing teams and specialists to focus disruption activity.

Flexibility is required as Analysts may be asked to service meetings and operational demand outside core hours.
