The OCTF was established in September 2000 to set the strategic direction for a multi-agency approach to tackle organised crime in Northern Ireland. It is a forum where partner agencies - Police Service of NI, HM Revenue & Customs and other government agencies meet to agree priorities and share information.

The OCTF does not recruit directly, however, if you have an interest in the work carried out by the various agencies involved, you should contact their personnel offices as recruitment is held by open competition.

Links to the other partner agencies websites can be found here.

The OCTF  Annual Report and Threat Assessment can be found under the Publications page on the website
