PURPOSE OF THE ROLE
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the NPCC Cybercrime Team as a cryptoasset & darkweb investigator, playing a key part in disrupting online serious organised crime. This is a complex, exciting, and fast paced area of policing where you will work with both public and private industry partners to identify, develop and support intelligence leads for UK policing. As a cryptoasset & darkweb investigator you will be conducting blockchain track and trace investigations to track illicit funds.

You will conduct research into these entities gathering evidence and intelligence to support law enforcement action. You will conduct enquires into those committing various types of criminality across online platforms, whether that be through the darkweb, messaging platforms or other online spaces used for such activity. You will be responsible for developing these leads into intelligence summaries and packages that law enforcement can act on. You will help manage relationships with those within the network and private suppliers to build meaningful, proactive opportunities.
