OSINT employees for the Border Analysis Team, at the South & South Jutland Police

About the job

You check the news on your mobile phone on Thursday morning – the police have arrested several people with connections to organized crime. The day before, you had conducted a targeted and advanced information search on the open sources of the Internet, and your findings and recommendations have helped ensure that the police were able to identify and arrest key individuals in an organized crime network.

Are you the curious type who just can't help but look for needles in every haystack? If you also have technical understanding and perhaps knowledge of web technologies, internal APIs, source code, Burp Suite and developer tools, then you might be exactly what we are looking for as our new OSINT colleague in the Border Analysis Team.

‍For the Immigration Control Department West (UKA West), the South and South Jutland Police are looking for 2 committed and technically skilled employees who have experience with obtaining data and information from the internet.

‍

‍

About the position:

The Internet is increasingly becoming a more relevant platform for obtaining information.

We therefore need talents and specialists who are able to obtain and analyze data from the open and more 'dark' side of the web.

You will be part of the Border Analysis Team (GAT), which consists of a mix of police-trained employees and analysts with academic backgrounds.

Among other things, you will contribute to the task of supporting the Danish police's efforts against human trafficking, human exploitation and social dumping, but also other tasks within the fight against cross-border and/or organized crime - both locally and nationally.

Your new everyday life:

You will continuously collect, process and analyze data and information about cross-border crime, which will, among other things, form the basis for specific operational efforts.

Your tasks will primarily consist of systematically identifying, monitoring, collecting and assessing information on areas or topics in support of the Border Analysis Team's tasks. You are expected to be able to communicate the results of your work in writing or orally to the relevant colleagues in both Danish and English.

You will conduct investigations and evidence collection via open sources - both proactively and reactively, in order to support investigative sections and relevant operational efforts.

On a daily basis, you work independently in your search for knowledge with an eye for creative solutions. You also have close interdisciplinary cooperation with the other professional groups in GAT, where you contribute information to an overall intelligence picture. There is therefore an opportunity to make a decisive difference to the police's investigative and intelligence work.

You will have ample opportunity to influence your work tasks and you will help point out how we best implement OSINT in the South & South Jutland Police.

The position requires educational activities, as well as travel domestically and abroad in connection with participation in meetings, courses, workshops, conferences and seminars. In return, we can offer a workplace with flexible working hours during the day, including the possibility of working from home days by arrangement, so that private life and work life can be harmoniously combined.

About you:

• You are well-versed in classic information search and have experience in searching for information on the internet, and are able to translate it into concrete analyses and recommendations. This can be based on a previous position such as journalist, librarian or experience from a media/research company, the police, the armed forces, IT University or something completely different
• You have a thorough understanding of how the different social media work, who uses which, their advantages and disadvantages, and how to obtain and use the data in our work
• You are fluent in Danish, both orally and in writing, and are generally a strong written communicator
• You are curious, creative, inventive and critical of sources
• You love to dig deep into layers of information and collect information and find patterns and connections across different media.
• You are structured and systematic in your approach and value quality in your work
• You are proactive and can work independently
• You like varied and new tasks, and you manage to maintain an overview and calmness when everyday life is busy
• You have good English skills in writing and speaking
