From your first day with us you will be part of a policing family making a real difference.
It is our mission to identify and protect vulnerable people, prevent and respond to harm and keep people safe.

- Reviewing the intelligence to ensure quality, accuracy and relevancy of the data within compliance of legislation, policy and procedure.
- Validating or revising the intelligence log evaluation (source and intelligence evaluation; and handling code).
- Sanitising the intelligence, ensuring that the source of the information cannot be identified.
- Cross reference the intelligence on local systems in order to link to all of the People, Objects, Locations and Events referred to within the submission. This involves searching the force systems to identify whether the entities already exist, confirm whether the existing entity matches that referred to, and in the absence of an existing entity, creating a new entity.
- Disseminate the intelligence according to the threat and risk posed, this may be within the force and also, where appropriate, to other Police forces and external partner agencies to ensure the effective flow of information. Dissemination has to be made in accordance with information sharing protocols and appropriate legislation.
The Intelligence Processor role involves working a shift pattern which includes bank holidays and also one weekend in three. The shifts span the period 0700 to 2200. Weekend working will be on an early shift (08.00 to 16.00) which comes with an additional payment (shift allowance).
