Job Description

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.

The Department of Investigation (DOI) is seeking a highly skilled Confidential Investigator to join Squad 5, which oversees City-elected officials, City-funded not-for-profit organizations, City agencies involved in the City election process, the Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD), the Department for the Aging (DFTA), the Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DoITT), and the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings (OATH). The investigator will participate in a variety of highly confidential and sensitive investigations into corruption, fraud, waste, and misconduct involving New York City officials, employees, and persons or entities doing business with the City. In this investigative role, you will conduct complex criminal, administrative, and policy-driven investigations into fraud, corruption, mismanagement, and systemic failures. You will work collaboratively with attorneys, auditors, policy analysts, and law enforcement partners to support DOI's mission of rooting out wrongdoing and recommending effective reforms.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead investigations into suspected fraud, corruption, and misconduct by identifying, obtaining, and analyzing relevant evidence and records; conducting interviews; participating in field work including undercover surveillance; executing search warrants and arrests.

Draft clear and compelling investigative reports, internal memoranda, and written referrals, and contribute to public reports detailing findings and policy recommendations.
Propose operational and procedural reforms to strengthen agency controls and reduce risk.
Maintain meticulous case documentation in compliance with DOI standards and uphold confidentiality and integrity in all investigative activities.
Participate in cross-team case briefings, trainings, and inter-agency coordination meetings.

If selected, the candidate will be fingerprinted and undergo a background investigation. Due to the position consisting of law enforcement and/or investigative functions, 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).
