Job description: Specialist Investigator - Asset Recovery Unit. Based

Permanent, full time. JR 4661361.

Mō te tūnga | About the role The Asset Recovery Unit (ARU) is a part

of the Financial Crime Group of the New Zealand Police. The unit's

primary roles are to deny criminals of the opportunity to benefit from

their offending, or the ability to re-invest in criminal activity.

Police do this by taking away their "ill-gotten gains" and making sure

that crime really doesn't pay.

International trends among law enforcement agencies indicate that

recovering assets is often more successful as a deterrent than the

criminal prosecution. New Zealand Police are invested in capitalising

on this prevention tool and the workgroup is expanding.

The Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) Act 2009 is a relatively new piece of

legislation based on civil court processes, meaning you will be

working on the "balance of probabilities". New case law is being

obtained constantly and you will be encouraged to push the boundaries,

use your initiative and explore ways of using the Act to recover

criminal gains.

In the Northern Asset Recovery Unit you will be part of a team based

in Auckland. We are looking for an investigator who can manage

reactive and proactive investigations, working closely with the

criminal investigation teams targeting serious criminal activity. You

will prepare and execute court orders, conduct interviews, assess

evidence of criminality and complete detailed financial investigations

to identify assets, quantify illegitimate income and seek forfeiture

through preparation of affidavits to the High Court.

Key accountabilities: Build and maintain partnerships both internally

and externally; Good written and verbal skills with the ability to

prepare court orders and affidavits in a clear and concise manner;

Manage time effectively to complete multiple investigations and meet

deadlines; Manage competing demands and a high workload; Keep accurate

and detailed records of all information and decisions; Prepare, manage

and/or investigate serious and complex cases; Manage risk in relation

to criminal investigations; Maintain a flexible schedule to allow for

warrant executions and terminations.
