In 2011, the City of London Police developed a business case
outlining the need to improve the capacity and capability of the
national policing response to fraud. In January 2012,
agreement was reached by the Association of Chief Police Officers
to: design and implement a new ‘National Standardised Fraud
Framework’ that will involve revising investigative standards for
the reporting and investigation of fraud, and training and
accreditation standards across law enforcement and industry; and to
place additional Regional Fraud Teams across the UK that will
proactively tackle the threat from serious and organised fraud, as
well as providing additional support to forces during times
of austerity.

As a result, the Force is seeking to recruit a project team
whose main responsibility will be the design and national
implementation of the new ‘National Standardised Fraud Framework’
and to develop a national coordination plan to initiate and direct
the design, construction and placement of each Regional Fraud Team
across England and Wales.

The Force is now looking to recruit a number of project
officers. The starting salary, including London Weighting, is
£30,450 per annum.
