Intelligence is at the heart of everything we do. An accurate intelligence picture allows us to effectively prioritise action against the greatest threats and deliver the maximum disruptive impact on serious organised crime. We work closely with our partners to identify the greatest threats to the UK, prioritising and co-ordinating joint operations when appropriate. This ensures that the intelligence we collect is used to its full advantage within the UK law enforcement community.
The UK Financial Intelligence Unit's Engagement Teams are responsible for engaging, supporting, and educating on the effective submission and use of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs).
Engagement Officers work with law enforcement partners and private sector organisations across the UK to improve understanding of the SARs regime and increase the effective use of SARs as a vital source of intelligence in any investigation. As an Engagement Officer in the UKFIU you will work to improve the quality of SARs being submitted and their exploitation by law enforcement, and play a key role in continuing to make the UK a hostile place for money launderers.
The Reporter Engagement and SARs Exploitation Teams form part of the UKFIU’s overall engagement function, which also includes a Digital Media Publications team. Officers in the SARs Exploitation Team work with law enforcement partners across the UK to increase the effective use of SARs as a vital source of intelligence in any investigation, while officers in the Reporter Engagement Team work with reporters across the private sector to increase their understanding of the SARs regime and improve the quality of the SARs they submit.
There are roles available in both the SARs Exploitation Team and the Reporter Engagement Team and applicants from a range of backgrounds are encouraged to apply. However, successful applicants with a law enforcement background are likely to be placed in the SARs Exploitation Team. Engagements in both teams range from providing 1-2-1 guidance and support direct to law enforcement partners and reporters, to delivering presentations and training to a wide range of audiences or speaking at external conferences and other events.

Whilst knowledge of the SARs Regime is desirable, it is not essential. We will invest in you and train you so that you have the fundamental knowledge required to perform in this role.
What is essential, is your ability to adapt, be proactive and work at pace. We receive over 900,000 SARs and volumes continue to rise so the need for a dedicated communications function which we can use to influence changes in reporter behaviour and to assist law enforcement in their exploitation of the data in SARs is essential.
