Career Profile - Detective


Career Profile


If you thrive on challenges, enjoy problem solving and have a strong desire to keep people safe, a career as a detective may suit you.

Detectives are accredited police officers who work as Serious and Complex Crime Investigators or Specialist Investigators. They’re responsible for managing a range of investigations including those concerning robbery, drugs, domestic violence, public and child protection, company fraud, cybercrime, homicide and counter-terrorism.

The term detective is not a rank but a descriptive title, which demonstrates your current role and reflects your skills, knowledge, training and experience in a particular field. Detectives work alongside their uniformed counterparts as equals in pay and rank.

Types of work

As a detective you can work in a number of specialist departments:

* criminal investigations department (CID) – handles incidents such as suspicious deaths, serious assaults, robbery, burglary and major property thefts, domestic abuse or racist abuse
* fraud squad – investigates company and financial fraud
* drugs squad – deals with drug trafficking investigations, which may be long-term and may also involve working with colleagues from other countries
* firearms squad – investigates and responds to offences involving firearms, including potential hostage situations
* child protection department – deals with offences against children
* Special Branch – investigates incidents relating to national security and international terrorism.

Further professional training is required when starting to work in any of these specialist units; it is possible to transfer to different units over the course of your career. Not all specialist areas are offered by every police force and there is strong competition for some.

Responsibilities
As a Detective, you’ll need to:

* manage and conduct a range of complex investigations in your area of responsibility
* gather, verify and assess all appropriate and available information to gain an accurate understanding of situations to an agreed case investigation plan
* develop and evaluate strategies to manage investigations, working closely and communicating with staff at all levels
* make decisions based on balancing risks, costs, benefits and the wider impact
* use cutting-edge technology to help with the investigations
* analyse and interpret data, examine records and documents
* prepare, complete and submit accurate case papers and evidential files to the highest professional standard and within set time limits
* handle and document exhibits
* deal with forensic material and its submissions
* conduct interviews and interrogations
* participate in and conduct raids, searches or arrests
* identify appropriate witnesses and obtain statements
* assess and report the potential for recruiting informants, or exploring other useful sources of information
* liaise with internal and external agencies relevant to your area of responsibility e.g. courts, schools, social work departments
* work with all colleagues as a team
* keep up to date with changes in legislation and procedures as they affect criminal investigation
* manage and lead teams of police staff.

Salary

* The starting salary for a newly qualified constable in England, Wales and Northern Ireland starts from £26,000 rising in annual increments to around £43,000 at the top of the constable scale; the starting salary for constables in Scotland is from £30,000, rising incrementally to over £45,000.
* Experienced staff in England, Wales and Northern Ireland earn between £45,000 to £48,000 as a sergeant, £54,600 to £59,000 as an inspector, £60,000 and £62,500 as a chief inspector, £70,000 to £82,000 as a superintendent and £86,500 to £91,500 as a chief superintendent.
* There are variations throughout the payscale in Scotland and in London.

Income figures are intended as a guide only.

Detectives also receive a range of benefits, including:

* a pension
* flexible work schedule
* part-time work options
* a minimum of 22 days annual leave (28 days in Scotland), plus statutory holidays
* paid sick leave
* occupational health support
* childcare schemes
* parental leave
* access to trade unions
* access to sports and social facilities.

Working Hours

Typically you’ll work 40 hours per week, and shifts vary depending on the police force you work for. You may have to work unsocial hours, depending on your type of work and branch.

Flexible and part-time hours are available, but depend on the individual police force and your role.

What to expect

* You’ll usually work on several cases at the same time and each day will bring a range of tasks and challenges; you could be attending a crime scene, analysing evidence connected to a potential cybercrime, interviewing offenders and distressed victims or managing a team.
* Many detectives find protecting the public and bringing offenders to justice a very rewarding aspect of the job.
* You’ll deal with difficult situations and people including handling aggression, disturbing or distressing situations. You’ll receive training for this but it can be mentally and physically demanding.
* You have the opportunity to work in a variety of locations from rural countryside to small towns and densely populated areas, as well as overseas.
* There are structured pathways for further qualifications and promotion.

Skills
You’ll need to have:

* excellent communication skills that effectively convey needs, instructions and decisions in a clear and concise manner, both written and spoken
* planning skills to conduct an investigation effectively
* good problem-solving skills for analysing and evaluating evidence from a range of sources
* emotional resilience and the ability to keep calm and confident in challenging situations
* decision-making skills for assessing situations, risk and evidence with a logical and analytical approach
* teamwork skills for building effective and collaborative relationships with colleagues and staff in external agencies
* a commitment to the ethical standards and values of the police force
* a strong sense of personal responsibility for your own actions and for dealing with problems that may arise
* respect for diversity, treating people with dignity regardless of their social, cultural or racial background, status, circumstances or appearance
* effective leadership skills (depending on rank and position) that inspire and motivate staff
* a good level of physical fitness and standard eyesight.

Career prospects

Working for the police means you have access to a clearly defined promotion structure. As a detective, you have the opportunity to be promoted up through the following ranks:

* detective constable
* detective sergeant
* detective inspector
* detective chief inspector
* detective superintendent
* detective chief superintendent
* assistant chief constable
* deputy chief constable
* chief constable.

Promotion in England, Wales and Northern Ireland is done through performance related exams, work-based assessments and a professional development portfolio.

You have the option to move across into a non-detective post, in particular when you’ve reached the level of assistant chief constable. There are opportunities to transfer to different forces in the UK and overseas. It’s also possible to move into other roles within the police, such as teaching new trainee investigators.

Grading & How it Works

The UK has a unique higher education grading system. Its most unique feature compared to traditional grading systems is that it aims to be more specific in describing students’ academic achievement.

This type of assessment method is highly valued because it offers many advantages. Most importantly it highlights your academic strengths and specific skills, therefore, it helps employers gain a better understanding of your true potential.

Since it is proved to be such an efficient tool to assess students’ performance, many foreign countries like Canada, Australia and India are using the same grading system on some occasions with small changes to fit into their own local educational context.

We use a letter grade scale from A to F to indicate the students’ academic performance. If you get an A it means you have shown outstanding knowledge whereas if you get an F it means your score is not sufficient to pass the exam.
