The Public Protection Team are a specialist team of officers and staff who cover a range of work supporting investigations for domestic abuse victims.

We are also keen to hear from those who would be willing to support a monthly audit process in each of our sites.

Investigations will be prepared and collated by a volunteer who would visit these sites and interact with the staff, getting them ready for review by a select panel of internal and external partners to help and inform our service delivery.

Liaise with the staff at our PPU sites to ensure victims of crime receive call backs
Ensure information is handed over to rotating teams to ensure nothing is missed
