5 days ago

Overview

This role blends IT security monitoring, incident response and data analysis, which can draw on your experience of managing risk and following structured procedures under pressure. However, it requires specific technical skills in data engineering, business intelligence and AI that most policing backgrounds won't have developed, and the employer is looking for prior experience in IT security or analytics rather than transferable investigative or command skills. You'd need significant retraining to compete for this role, and your policing experience would only cover a small part of the job.
