SalaryANPR Researcher
Operational Support
Wakefield
- One full time permanent post – Monday to Friday
An exciting opportunity has arisen for two Researchers to join the ANPR Team. Working within the ANPR office is demanding at times and requires commitment and enthusiasm to support and lead on intelligence led Policing.
The ANPR department supports the whole of West Yorkshire Police and other agencies, which covers a diversity of work from criminal damage and road related offences through to Counter Terrorism. All work completed is often key to progressing investigations and directly influences decisions that are being made on historic investigations through to live time responses.
West Yorkshire’s ANPR systems and capabilities are advanced and recognised as such nationally - you will be working with the latest in technology and capabilities.
One role is for Monday to Friday working - flexi time, between the hours of 0700 and 1900 hours. This role will focus on ongoing crimes and providing invaluable ANPR assistance to the different teams to help identify any vehicles that have been linked to the crime by utilising specialist skills you will be provided with.
The second role will involve shift working. This will consist of 3 'earlies' (0800 to 1600 hours), 3 'lates' (1600 to 0100 hours) and then 3 rest days. This role focuses on supporting the Roads Policing Teams by providing them with the necessary intelligence for them to be able to take illegal drivers off the road and support the Force’s Fatal 5 strategies - preventing death and serious injuries to road users in West Yorkshire.
Applicants: please state on the application form which of the two roles; Monday to Friday, or shift working, you are interested in.
If you would like to know more, please contact Pip Reed, ANPR Manager on 01924 206183, email: philippa.reed@westyorkshire.police.uk
Closing date for applications: 23:55 hours on 28th January 2024.
Within this role, physical and emotional resilience is required to deal with abusive and offensive imagery. The jobholder must therefore be willing to undergo regular psychological assessments.
The post is suitable for job share.
West Yorkshire Police is committed to improving the diversity of its workforce to better reflect the diverse communities we serve.

Applicants should be aware that it is not always possible to carry out adequate vetting checks on persons who have not been resident within the UK for the last five years. Therefore, where this applies, applicants may be refused because it was not possible to vet them to the appropriate standard.
