Working for Immigration Enforcement is challenging and fast paced, requiring sound decision making in demanding and often time-sensitive situations and environments and can require working to tight deadlines dictated by the court and the Crown Prosecution Service. Financial Investigators operate nationally, hence there will be a requirement to deploy at short notice, which may involve overnight stays away from home. In addition, training courses may be anywhere in the UK and residential.

Financial investigation asset recovery work falls under civil legislation and the search for assets requires innovative and meticulous thinking.

The Financial Investigation Units work closely with their Crime Team colleagues, Crown Prosecution Service and Home Office lawyers to:

  • Investigate the extent and whereabouts of criminal benefit, confiscate criminal assets after conviction and deny criminals of any further financial gain
  • Restrain criminal assets via Crown Prosecution Service to prevent dissipation and protect assets for confiscation
  • Seize, detain and investigate cash, listed assets, and freeze bank accounts.
