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 is seeking a motivated individual to serve as Assistant Inspector General (AIG) to conduct and support the investigations of the Inspector General overseeing the New York City Fire Department (FDNY), Department of Sanitation (DSNY), Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC), Emergency Management (NYCEM), and the Conflicts of Interest Board (COIB). Together, these agencies manage a combined annual budget exceeding $4.5 billion and a workforce of more than 28,000 employees.

Each plays a vital and distinct role in maintaining the safety, resilience, and integrity of New York City ranging from emergency response and public safety to essential sanitation services, for‑hire vehicle regulation, and ethics enforcement.

Directly reporting to the Deputy Inspectors General for Squad 6 and working closely with Squad leadership, the AIG will be responsible for assisting in the management of the unit. In addition to maintaining a limited caseload, the AIG will directly supervise a team of investigators, helping to plan and execute case strategies and field operations, and providing guidance on written work product.

The Assistant Inspector General will also work to enhance/streamline squad operations. This position is ideally suited for a candidate with experience conducting complex investigations and demonstrated leadership in a team setting.

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).
