An exciting opportunity has arisen for accredited detectives to join the Avon and Somerset Major Crime Investigation Team (MCIT).

The Avon and Somerset MCIT is part of a three-force collaboration, which includes Gloucestershire and Wiltshire police forces.  The team comprises of specialist investigators, intelligence officers, CCTV operatives and indexing staff amongst others, who work meticulously in the investigation of major crime to bring offenders to justice and keep the public safe.  In the MCIT, we aim to be the centre of excellence in the South West for major crime investigation.

A typical day in the MCIT could see you travelling across borders to interview key or significant witnesses, completing actions, conducting CCTV enquiries, interviewing murder suspects or completing disclosure schedules.  You will be allocated a broad array of work, across multiple cases to keep your work interesting and relevant.  We currently afford out staff flexibility to work from home when appropriate.

The Avon and Somerset area is a fantastic place to live and work.  It is a gateway to the South West and all it offers, from the vibrant and bustling cities of Bristol and Bath to the rural beauty spots the Mendip Hills to the fun seaside resort of Weston-super-Mare.  There is something for all tastes, and if you are looking for a change of location to promote a better quality of life then the Avon and Somerset area could be for you!
