It’s no secret that illicit drugs pose a serious and ongoing threat to the Australian community, and nitazenes, an emerging synthetic opioid group, is the latest drug threat causing harm.

The Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) has been granted extraordinary coercive powers which, similar to a Royal Commission, are used in special operations and special investigations to obtain intelligence relevant to transnational serious and organised crime.

Serious and organised crime is a national security threat that impacts Australia’s security and stability. Criminal networks targeting Australia are increasingly transnational and do not respect state or national borders. They are highly agile, well-funded and adopt new technology at pace to advance their criminal enterprises.

While language specialists, including linguists, translators and interpreters, do their best to remove this obstacle, there are some people who try to exploit the language barrier as an instrument for criminal activity.

NAFIS NextGen accelerates the investigative process by enabling rapid uploads of prints from crime scenes, which aids in the swift identification of suspects.

We employ advanced strategic tradecraft skills to collect and analyse data, pinpointing vulnerabilities and opportunities for exploitation by serious and organised crime within the Australian supply chain.

Join us for a fascinating career from the get-go that makes a meaningful contribution to the protection of Australian communities; working to collect, assess and share mission critical intelligence – getting it to where it needs to be.

Threats to the community are borderless, but each law enforcement agency in Australia uses a different system for its day-to-day policing needs, posing significant challenges. NCIS contributes to a safer Australia by arming agencies with the cross-border information they need, when they need it, to address and prevent criminal activity.

Continuous checking has a real-time function in monitoring for those who pose a risk to children and young people, and work is well underway to design and pilot a national solution.
