Our officers
There's no such thing as a typical NCA officer. We come from different backgrounds and cultures, speak many languages and have diverse skills and experiences.
NCA officers work in a wide range of roles, from investigations to intelligence, crime analysis to commercial procurement. Some of our officers come from a law enforcement or intelligence background. Many do not. From the Civil Service to the private sector or straight from school – NCA officers come from all walks of life. Our diversity is one of our greatest strengths.
What we have in common is dedication and a commitment to protecting the public from serious and organised crime.
Our values
- Integrity - we do the right thing and act with courage.
- Agility - we are flexible and innovative to stay ahead of the threat.
- Alliance - we embrace diversity, collaborating with teams and partners.
- Excellence - we aspire to be world class in protecting the public from serious and organised crime.
Our heritage
We may have a short history, but we have a long and proud heritage.
From the origins of policing in the early 1800s we respect and honour those who came before us and helped to make the NCA the agency we are today.
