SYP - Investigations Trainer - Detective Constable

SYP - Investigation Training and Assessment Team (ITAT) Detective Constable

We have an exciting opportunity for two substantive Detective Constables to join South Yorkshire Police working within the Investigation Training and Assessment Team (ITAT).

The key function is to deliver crime training to individuals, officers, and staff, to achieve their aims in becoming qualified at PIP1 (IOs), PIP2 (IOs and DCs) or other specialist portfolios. You will be expected to deliver training to large cohorts of investigators, to be a confident public speaker and have an in-depth working knowledge of current legislation.

Detective Constables in the unit do not routinely work weekends or afternoons but are part of the nights PIP2 rota. This is a dynamic role with the requirement to teach a range of subjects relating to serious and complex investigations, to deliver interview training and to offer support and guidance to student officers. 

This is an excellent opportunity for anyone seeking to obtain evidence of developing staff and officers or simply those who may seek to have a hand in shaping the future of CID investigation in South Yorkshire Police.
