Alex: from city lawyer to protecting national security

from Inside Counter Terrorism Policing

In this episode, we meet Alex – a national security lawyer who followed his gut to leave life as an unfulfilled city lawyer to start a legal career in public service with the police.  Being a lawyer in policing is complex, particularly in counter terrorism where the stakes are incredibly high.   We hear what it’s like to secure warrants for raids, lead policing through high-profile inquests, as well as the role of a legal team in cases such as the ISIS Beatles and the Salisbury Attacks.   Could you do Alex’s job? We are always looking for people to join our team and our mission to protect the public from terrorism.       With 19 late-stage terror attacks stopped since 2020, the need to recruit incredible people has never been greater.     You can find current vacancies here, and on your local police force website.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
