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.
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 Police Department (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 Assistant Inspector General in OIG-NYPD's Policy Analysis unit. Reporting to the Deputy Inspector General for Policy Analysis, the Assistant Inspector General will, along with another Assistant Inspector General, assist in managing the Policy unit and leading teams comprised of policy assistants, data analysts, and auditors who will review selected policies, practices, and operations of NYPD and develop recommendations for changes.
