Criminality involved in the organised exploitation of the vulnerable continues to evolve, and in some cases, thrive. Significant work is already being undertaken by UK law enforcement to tackle organised exploitation such as county lines, human trafficking, modern slavery, child sexual exploitation, and child sexual abuse; however, this landscape is complex, and requires a sophisticated solution.
The TOEX Programme, a national project between the NPCC and NCA, aims to enhance the local, regional and national response to organised exploitation, as part of a whole systems approach. The programme will deliver this by improving regional intelligence, to inform operational tasking, coordination and capability development; and prioritising limited resources on the highest-harm threats. This will enable more coherent and joined-up law enforcement activity with an evidence-based approach to activity across the 4Ps – protect, pursue, prevent, and prepare.
The TOEX Business Analyst will elicit, analyse, specify, and validate the business needs of clients. Interviewing, gathering and compiling user requirements to understand the technology solutions they need to access the TOEX Regional Analytical Performance and Threat Operational Response tool (RAPTOR) and other complementary TOEX intelligence and performance tools.
