In our eighth episode, career detective Jenna talks about taking on one of the toughest jobs in Counter Terrorism Policing, making decisions about convicted terrorists living in our community. 

 

Jenna swapped village life for policing the streets of London working on high-profile cases and incidents including the Grenfell Tower fire, and the Jimmy Saville historic sexual abuse case. 

 

We hear how those harrowing cases helped shape her career and the daily decisions she makes about people convicted of some of the worst crimes imaginable.  

 

Terrorists living amongst us is a difficult reality, and Jenna lifts the lid on what it’s like to manage those risks and how she supports her team to make the right decisions at the right time.   

 

Could you do Jenna’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.
