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 New York 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 Investigative Analyst to investigate, review, study, or audit selected operations, policies, programs, and practices of the NYPD. The Investigative Analyst, using an investigative data-driven approach will identify policy and practice areas of concern and where improvements are needed in how NYPD carries out its law enforcement responsibilities. The Investigative Analyst will work alongside other OIG-NYPD staff to develop recommendations for reforms to NYPD, based on investigative findings, best practices and other research. The Investigative Analyst will also monitor and produce public reports documenting the extent to which NYPD implements, or does not implement, the Office's recommendations.

The Investigative Analyst must have strong research, analytical and communication skills.
