Deputy Commissioner, Investigation & Intelligence
About The Position
The New York City Department of Correction (DOC) operates facilities and court commands across the five boroughs and is responsible for maintaining safe and secure environments for staff, visitors, volunteers, and people in custody. Its Investigations & Intelligence Division is the department’s investigative branch and works to prevent crime and misconduct in DOC facilities. The division investigates staff misconduct and alleged wrongdoing by people in custody and visitors, and includes the Investigation Division, Early Intervention Support & Supervision (EISS), and Correction Intelligence Bureau (CIB). The Investigation Division investigates matters including staff misconduct on and off duty, use-of-force incidents and allegations, undue familiarity with people in custody, firearms violations, erroneous discharges, escapes, improper outside employment, and other conduct that may discredit DOC. It works with the New York City Department of Investigation and is subject to investigation-timeliness requirements under the Nunez Consent Judgment, monitored by a Federal Monitor. EISS identifies and supports staff who have had multiple misconduct incidents or whose behavior warrants redirection. CIB gathers intelligence to interdict contraband, advise on safe placement, and investigate and prevent criminal activity in DOC facilities. Its staff collect and test evidence, support criminal prosecutions, and liaise with local, state, and federal agencies. Under the executive direction of the Senior Deputy Commissioner of Investigations, Intelligence & Accountability, the Deputy Commissioner assists in leading the Investigation Division, EISS, and CIB. The role manages and supervises investigations, makes recommendations and determinations concerning investigative staff hiring and promotion, directs investigator training, sets strategic direction for the divisions, performs related duties as requested, and partners with DOC’s Deputy Commissioner of Accountability.
