The North West Regional Organised Crime Unit
The North West Regional Organised Crime Unit is a collaborative multi-agency covert response to tackle serious and organised crime across the North West Region.
Role of the SOC Coordinators
The role of the SOC Coordinators is to act as regional ambassadors for Clear, Hold and Build (CHB) and provide advice to forces and their LROs on how to use the framework. The SOC CC will support forces in the region to ensure they have the foundation blocks in place to operationalise CHB successfully.
Clear, Hold, Build (CHB)
Clear, Hold, Build (CHB) is an end-to-end partnership approach developed and piloted by the Home Office in collaboration with NPCC. Its aim is to reduce the SOC threat and crime levels in high-harm areas and build community resilience in a sustainable way. By bringing together conventional and covert investigative methods; multi-agency disruption tactics and local policing and partner-based problem-solving skills, CHB provides a framework to enable forces and partners to:
- Identify the highest harm areas
- Clear - ruthlessly pursue OCG members through intensive enforcement activity
- Hold - immediately address the “vacuum” this leaves as part of the Hold phase, by preventing other OCGs from taking over the location including by offering support services and safeguarding referrals
- Build - strengthen communities’ resilience and resistance to criminality in a way that prevents SOC/crime from reoccurring
- Manage a SOC CC Sergeant collectively supporting forces with SOC related initiatives including CHB and response to 4P plans
Responsibilities
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
