    Default job background
    Description

    The New York City Department of Investigation (DOI) is one of the oldest law enforcement agencies in the country with a mission of combating municipal corruption.

    It serves the people of New York City by acting as an independent and nonpartisan watchdog for New York City government, City agencies, and City employees, vendors with City contracts, individuals and entities that receive City funds.


    The Department of Investigation's Office of the Inspector General for the New York City Police Department ("Office" or "OIG-NYPD") is authorized to investigate, review, study, audit and make recommendations relating to the operations, policies, programs and practices of NYPD, with the goal of enhancing the effectiveness of NYPD, increasing public safety, protecting civil liberties and civil rights, and increasing the public's confidence in the police force.


    OIG-NYPD is seeking an Investigative Attorney to conduct confidential and sensitive investigations into the operations, policies, programs, and practices of the NYPD.

    Investigations may involve review of police reports and related documentation; interviews with members of the public and law enforcement professionals; gathering and analysis of evidence; and other tactics.

    The selected candidate will be expected to assess risk and critically analyze problems and deficiencies relating to complex police operations and prepare well-organized, thorough written investigative reports and sections of OIG-NYPD's public written reports.


    Responsibilities may also include updating OIG-NYPD staff on relevant public developments, including litigation related to NYPD, liaising with representatives from NYPD and other governmental agencies, maintaining and enforcing internal policies and procedures, and researching, drafting, and reviewing memoranda, correspondence, and related materials.


    The successful candidate will be conscientious, self-motivated, and a creative thinker who is able to perform effectively both independently and as part of a team.

    If selected, the candidate will be fingerprinted and undergo a background investigation.

    In addition for positions that have a law enforcement and/or investigative function, the candidate's consumer credit history will be reviewed during the background investigation, and as otherwise permitted by NYC Administrative Code b)(2)(A).
