You’ll constantly grow and learn because professional development continues throughout your career.
Through on the job training programmes you can complete qualifications leading to roles in training, leadership development, investigations and resolutions.

Working with partners in New Zealand and across the world, you'll be seizing criminally derived assets, analysing suspicious transactions, investigating professional money-launderers, and tracing illicit crypto currency.
Child Protection Team
You can help give society's most vulnerable people a voice. Working with other agencies, you'll make a difference to kids who have suffered physical, psychological or sexual abuse.
Forensics
Specialise in crime scene examination as a Scene of Crime Officer or Photographer and work with Fingerprint Officers, Document Examiners, Armourers and Electronic Crime Analysts.
Prosecutions
