A typical day will consist of you being on a day or late shift and arriving at the investigation centre to assist or lead in an investigation. This may involve attending the scene of the incident, speaking to witnesses, identifying and gathering vital evidence before interviewing the suspect in custody to prepare an investigative case file to present to the CPS; you could even be required to give evidence in Court.
Some cases you'll work alone, others alongside other PSI's, Police Constables and Detectives;No day will be the same.
Training and development
Our Police Staff Investigator trainees initially take part in a comprehensive modular, classroom based course. In addition to a period of mentoring and assessment whilst investigating current jobs.

There are development opportunities to progress to a PIP level 2 investigator and move laterally between the specialist investigation departments.
