Company Overview

Position Overview


The City of New York's Department of Investigation (DOI) stands as one of the nation's oldest law enforcement entities, dedicated to the fight against municipal corruption.

This agency operates as an independent and impartial overseer of New York City's government, its agencies, employees, vendors engaged in City contracts, and individuals or organizations receiving City funds.


Within DOI, the Office of the Inspector General for the New York City Police Department (OIG-NYPD) is empowered to conduct inquiries, evaluations, audits, and provide recommendations regarding the operations, policies, programs, and practices of the New York City Police Department (NYPD). The objective is to enhance operational effectiveness, bolster public safety, safeguard civil liberties and rights, and strengthen public trust in law enforcement.


OIG-NYPD is currently in search of a Junior Investigative Research Analyst to spearhead confidential and sensitive inquiries into the NYPD's operations, policies, programs, and practices.

The Junior Investigative Research Analyst will assess selected operations, policies, programs, and practices of the NYPD through a data-driven investigative lens to pinpoint concerns and opportunities for enhancement in the Department's law enforcement duties.

This role requires the ability to critically evaluate issues and shortcomings related to NYPD operations.

Candidates should possess the skills to produce well-structured, succinct investigative reports and public documents that clearly outline findings, recommendations, and supporting evidence.

Leading interdisciplinary investigative teams to formulate recommendations for policing reforms based on investigative outcomes, best practices, and additional research will be a key responsibility.

The Junior Investigative Research Analyst will also track and generate reports on the extent to which the NYPD adheres to the Office's recommendations.


Investigative work may involve reviewing a variety of documents, interviewing community members and law enforcement personnel, and collecting and analyzing factual evidence.

Responsibilities may also encompass screening and investigating public grievances related to the NYPD and/or individual members of the NYPD and other agencies.

The Junior Investigative Research Analyst will contribute to the training and mentoring of agency personnel.

On rare occasions, they may be tasked with overseeing individual investigations to ensure progress.

Upholding the highest standards of confidentiality and ethical behavior in managing sensitive information and investigations is essential, alongside compliance with agency policies and legal obligations regarding sensitive data handling.


The ideal candidate should have prior experience in fields such as policy analysis, investigations, law enforcement, criminal justice, data analysis, or police oversight.

Attention to detail, self-motivation, and the flexibility to work effectively both independently and as a leader of a multidisciplinary investigative team are crucial.

Strong project management skills, demonstrated experience in leading projects or investigations from inception to completion, resulting in thorough written outputs, are expected.

The successful candidate should exhibit emotional intelligence, conscientiousness, self-motivation, and creative thinking, enabling them to perform effectively both independently and as part of a team.

If selected, candidates will undergo fingerprinting and a background investigation. Additionally, due to the law enforcement and/or investigative nature of the role, the candidate's consumer credit history will be reviewed during the background check, as permitted by relevant regulations.
