Enforcement Counsel

Boston, United States State of Massachusetts Full time

Massachusetts Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission

Job Posting

Job Title: Enforcement Counsel

Reports to: Director of Police Standards

OVERVIEW OF THE AGENCY AND THE POSITION

The Massachusetts Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Commission is an independent agency that oversees law enforcement departments and officers throughout the Commonwealth. The Commission is charged with the following:

* Establishing certification standards for law enforcement departments and officers;
* Determining whether those standards have been met;
* Developing regulations and policies governing law enforcement;
* Decertifying, suspending, or ordering retraining for officers who commit misconduct or otherwise fail to satisfy requirements;
* Maintaining, analyzing, and disseminating information regarding law enforcement; and
* Conducting investigations, adjudicatory proceedings, and public hearings regarding such matters.

The Commission is governed by, and enforces, Chapter 6E of the Massachusetts General Laws. Pursuant to that statute, the Commission collaborates with the Commonwealth's Municipal Police Training Committee (MPTC) in several areas of its work.

The Commission is looking for an experienced attorney to join the growing team of the Division of Police Standards ("Division") as an Enforcement Counsel. The Division advances the Commission's purpose by diligently investigating allegations of officer misconduct, and advocating for disciplinary outcomes that are fair, consistent, and engender the trust of both the public-at-large and the law enforcement profession. The Enforcement Counsel plays a leading and critical role in the fulfillment of these objectives.

POSITION FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The Enforcement Counsel will supervise all aspects of investigations into allegations of law enforcement officer misconduct. This work includes, but is not limited to: developing strategies for investigating complaints submitted by members of the public or law enforcement agencies; drafting written reports summarizing the findings and recommendations of these investigations, and presenting finished investigative reports to the Commission at monthly meetings. The Enforcement Counsel will also prosecute disciplinary cases in adjudicatory proceedings before the Commission or a hearing officer. The Enforcement Counsel works under the supervision of the Division Director, and works closely with the Division's Compliance Agents, support staff, and other personnel as part of a team that collectively ensures the fair and consistent application of all relevant laws and policies.

Please note that pursuant to state law, no employee of the Division of Standards shall have previously been employed as a law enforcement officer, previously employed by a law enforcement agency or be a retired law enforcement officer or retired from a law enforcement agency. This provision does not apply to former federal law enforcement officers or former law enforcement officers from jurisdictions outside of Massachusetts.

Duties and responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:

* Manage a full caseload of investigations and matters in administrative litigation.
* Direct all aspects of confidential preliminary inquiries for assigned matters, including but not limited to, compelling the production of records and other materials, reviewing investigative and interview reports, examining witnesses under oath, preparing reports that clearly articulate the conclusions and determinations resulting from preliminary inquiries, and delivering oral presentations of investigative findings in a clear and concise manner.
* Represent the Division in adjudicatory hearings before the full Commission, a single Commissioner, or a hearing officer.
* Advocate for disciplinary outcomes that are fair, consistent, and in compliance with applicable laws, standards, regulations, procedures and/or policies.
* Alert the Director of the Division of Police Standards to any allegation which appears to require immediate action by the POST Commission, including, but not limited to, identifying any matter for potential investigation by means of a preliminary inquiry.
* Maintain open communication and work in a collaborative manner with other operational divisions and external agencies as necessary.
* Learn and keep abreast of the statutes and regulations relative to the POST Commission or impacting its operations.
* Produce high quality work in a timely fashion that meets established expectations.
* Perform other duties as requested.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLYING

Interested individuals should apply for the position through MassCareers. The application must include a cover letter, a resume, and at least one writing sample reflecting your own substantive legal analysis. You are strongly encouraged to discuss or demonstrate any experience with the areas listed above in your application.

This requisition will remain open until filled; however, priority consideration will be given to those applicants that apply within the first 14 days. If you are interested in multiple positions that have been posted by the Commission, you are encouraged to apply for all such positions.

SALARY RANGE

Commensurate with experience.

COMPREHENSIVE BENEFITS

When you embark on a career with the Commonwealth, you are offered an outstanding suite of employee benefits that add to the overall value of your compensation package. We take pride in providing a work experience that supports you, your loved ones, and your future.
