About the role

The National Organised Crime Group have teams based in Auckland, Wellington, Tauranga, Hamilton and Christchurch. NOCG is mandated by Government to detect, investigate, confront, prosecute, and disrupt the activities of high level and organised criminal groups. This is achieved through developing strong teams and collaboration with law enforcement and other agencies situated both nationally and internationally.

NOCG investigations are often challenging and complex, involving a full range of best practice overt and covert investigation techniques. This commonly involves targeting organised criminal enterprises, senior and influential organised crime leaders, international syndicates or professional facilitators involved in the importation and supply of illicit drugs and associated financial criminal offending.

To support the delivery of these outcomes the Intelligence Analyst will contribute to crime reduction and the prevention and disruption of criminal activity by preparing nationally standardised intelligence products that inform and support prevention, intervention and enforcement activities.
