Investigative Analyst

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 is seeking an Investigative Analyst that will work closely with Confidential Investigators, Assistant Inspectors General, Deputy Inspectors General, and Inspectors General to gather and analyze evidence that will be used to further criminal and administrative investigations. The Investigative Analyst will have the opportunity to work with local District Attorney's Offices, as well as state and federal law enforcement agencies. The Investigative Analyst will also perform in-depth open-source searches on investigative targets, review financial documents, analyze documentary evidence, including cell-site and call-details, review video surveillance footage, and assist with interviews.
This position is ideally suited for a candidate who is interested in law enforcement and who is inquisitive, resourceful, detail-oriented, self-motivated, and able to perform effectively both independently and as part of a team. The Investigative Analyst will be provided training to assist in developing analytical skillsets. The Investigative Analyst may be called to testify in a grand jury and/or court hearing.

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).
