We are looking for candidates who want real stretch and development in their everyday roles.
Immigration Enforcement tackles the criminality behind organised immigration crime. Our Criminal and Financial Investigation (CFI) teams play a fundamental role in addressing immigration crime, as part of a multi-layered UK law enforcement approach. Through working closely with partners in the National Crime Agency, territorial policing and many other agencies and departments, our CFI teams take vigorous action against those criminals that seek to benefit from illegal migration.
Working in the CFI teams is challenging and fast paced, requiring quick decision making in demanding situations. CFI undertakes a wide range of activities which support the detection, apprehension and removal of immigration offenders. Our people need to operate in sometimes difficult and pressurised environments and are required to make well balanced decisions.

Tackling immigration crime by empowering our people, inspiring confidence and protecting communities.
The teams are comprised of specially trained immigration officers who work with corporate partners including Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), National Crime Agency (NCA) and others, in pursuit of shared objectives.
