Job description
The JICC consists of approximately three hundred NCA officers and seconded police officers and police staff. The JICC leads, coordinates and supports the response of UK policing and wider law enforcement to international crime. It leads and coordinates lawful international cooperation through a 24/7 service that prioritises and responds to operational requirements of domestic and international partners.
As a part of the Joint International Crime Centre (JICC), you will provide an international cooperation service to front line policing and wider law enforcement, using all of the international capabilities within the NCA. You will build and maintain domestic and international relationships to deliver against operational objectives.
Core JICC functions and services include:
- The UK’s INTERPOL and EUROPOL Bureaux lead enquiry management, intelligence exchange, operational cooperation and the circulation of notices/alerts across the globe.
- The UK Extradition response by triaging and developing leads on requests. High/Medium risk cases in England and Wales are actioned by the JICC, who use all capabilities at their disposal to locate and arrest fugitives. The JICC relentlessly pursue fugitives overseas, including their collection from the jurisdictions where they have been located.
- Prum and International Biometrics Exchange. The JICC facilitates the management of international DNA and fingerprint exchange to support criminal investigations. Watchlisting and biometrics analysis increase the ability of policing and wider law enforcement to prevent and detect criminality.
- The JICC International Tactical Advisor Network provides training and tactical advice to UK policing and wider law enforcement regarding international enquiries, providing access to the services and expertise of the JICC and the NCA’s wider capabilities.
- The JICC leads engagement with the Foreign Law Enforcement Community (FLEC) based in the UK. JICC officers manage enquiries, provide operational tactical advice to partners and broker access to law enforcement capabilities.

- The JICC's Analysis & Insight Team provide tactical and strategic support across all JICC capabilities in order to identify and prioritise risk and drive our operational response.
Every day in the JICC is different. You will be responsible for dealing with the response to a variety of threat areas, with links to national and international priorities. You will be working in a dynamic environment, prioritising and managing expectations of both UK and international partners, whilst delivering a quality service to meet customer needs.
You will be required to maintain a flexible and innovative approach to your leadership, adapting to fluctuating demands and priorities, which could range from simple intelligence checks to complex crimes in action. You will ensure that all activity is prioritised, aligned with strategic objectives, and complies with statutory provisions and relevant control strategies.
The JICC is still within its implementation phase and, as such, you will be required to work with colleagues internally and externally to identify and implement new, efficient ways of working, whilst embedding a positive culture across diverse teams.
