Applications are invited from Substantive Detective Sergeants who have completed their probationary period by the closing date of this advert.

This is an excellent opportunity to become part of a regional alliance that is a key component in the response to serious and organised criminality in the Yorkshire and Humber Region.

As the Deputy Operation Lead you will establish, manage and maintain the response to the on-line threat of Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation across the Yorkshire and Humber Region through the utilisation primarily of the undercover on-line tactic. This is to reflect the tasking outlined in the 18 Box Grid (National On-Line Threat and Response) and the NPCC Utilising UCOL Assets Strategy. This is a Regional Investigation role, supported by all covert tactics, but commencing with undercover on-line.


We are looking for a substantive Detective Sergeant who has completed the initial Management of Serious Crime portfolio with the ability to successfully complete the Operational Lead course.

Eligible candidates will have a high level of experience in policing child abuse and safeguarding, including on-line. Furthermore, you must be able to evidence policy setting around the protection and safeguarding of any child and continue to review the operation for risk to a child.

We need you to be aware of current legal issues and guidelines relevant to undercover operations as well as those relating to offences under The Sexual Offences Act 2003, and other relevant offences and amendments. It is also the responsibility of the Deputy Operational Lead to be aware of child abuse and safeguarding procedures and protocols such as those set out in Working Together to Safeguard Children.

In addition, you must be prepared to work at anywhere within the YatH region, work shifts and/or additional hours to suit business needs, and successfully pass management checks and vetting prior to appointment.

This will be a posting for West Yorkshire Police officers and a secondment for officers from Regional Forces. As a secondment you will require permission from your current Force in order to be eligible to apply.

For further information please contact T/Chief Inspector Jon Best on 07878260301 or jonathan.best@westyorkshire.pnn.police.uk
