The New York City Department of Investigation (“DOI”) is one of the oldest law enforcement agencies in the country; its mission is to combat municipal corruption. DOI 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.
DOI's Office of the Inspector General for the New York City Police Department (OIG-NYPD) is authorized to investigate, review, study, audit, and make recommendations relating to the operations, policies, programs, and practices of the New York City Police Department (NYPD), with the goal of enhancing effectiveness, increasing public safety, protecting civil liberties and civil rights, and increasing the public's confidence in the police force.
OIG-NYPD is seeking an Assistant Inspector General who will report to a Deputy Inspector General. The Assistant Inspector General (AIG) will assist in managing investigative analysts and supervising all facets of investigations, reviews, studies and audits relating to NYPD's operations, policies, programs, and practices leading to the issuance of public reports with findings and recommendations. The AIG will also lead systemic investigations resulting in public reports, as well as be involved in complaint intake. As a supervisor of investigations, the AIG will assist in developing methodologies and analyses of OIG-NYPD's work. As part of their duties, they will interview and meet with staff and senior agency officials of NYPD. The AIG will also assist in administering the day-to-day operations of OIG-NYPD by working alongside other managers, to supervise and ensure proper training of employees within the unit; assign investigations and actively monitor and guide their progress; and handle other managerial functions. In addition, the AIG may participate in the recruitment and hiring of skilled staff and interns.
The AIG will be responsible for monitoring and updating all policy recommendations within the DOI PPR system.
If selected, the candidate will be fingerprinted and undergo a background investigation. In addition, because the position has a law enforcement and/or investigative function, the candidate's consumer credit history will be reviewed during the background investigation, as permitted by NYC Administrative Code 8-107(24)(b)(2)(A).
