As a member of the team, you will be supervising the team involved in the development of covert operations/intelligence tasked with disrupting and dismantling organised crime groups who are causing the most harm within the region’s communities. Utilising a range of overt and covert tactics, you will be expected to be flexible in your role, be prepared to deploy the team operationally in a covert & proactive role, build developmental cases through intelligence development, build evidential cases through proactive policing, prepare files, and perform disclosure duties to support the court process.
The Objective of the ROCT
To disrupt and dismantle those causing the most harm within our communities by utilising a variety of overt and covert tactics and adapting a single system approach with partner agencies.
The Applicant Must:
- Be PIP 2 (ICIDP) accredited and be able to evidence a track record working in complex investigations
- Have a current Q1 surveillance accreditation.
Definition of Permitted Surveillance Accreditation
To maintain authorisation for deployment, mobile operatives must have been deployed within an operational or training environment, on foot and mobile duties (excluding dedicated ‘loggist’ duties only), on a minimum of two days during a six-month rolling period or else be reassessed to demonstrate competency. After two years of non-deployment, a full training course must be undertaken.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
A declaration from supervisory officers stating your most recent deployment dates must be included within the Supervisors' comments of your completed application.
If applicants have deployed within the last two years but cannot evidence the minimum two days during a 6-month rolling period, then they will be subject to assessment by NWROCU National Surveillance trainers prior to being allowed to proceed to interview.
