Leading by example, and behaving in line with the code of ethics, the successful candidate will liaise with architects, designers and developers in promoting an awareness of the Designing Out Crime service and NPCC approved crime prevention initiatives, including Secured by Design.

In addition, the candidate will ideally have experience of participating in problem solving with internal and external partners.
