The Office of Special Investigations (OSI) is seeking qualified candidates to serve as the Assistant Deputy Chief Investigator (ADCI) for the Criminal Investigations Division (CID) for the Western Region (CID-West). This multifaceted Division investigates a range of criminal activities associated with the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS), including but not limited to the following: violent acts resulting in serious injury or death, threats of violence, gun and drug distribution and possession, contraband smuggling, and criminal organizations engaged in extremist violence or terrorist activities. CID also provides investigative assistance, intelligence, and information to law enforcement agencies. CID participates in several task forces and intelligence centers. CID also has a Canine Unit, dedicated to interdicting controlled substances and other contraband smuggled into correctional facilities.

This ADCI position is responsible for the daily operations of CID and management of CID staff in western regions of New York State. The ADCI position is the fifth-level leadership and supervisory level role (under the Deputy Commissioner/Chief, Assistant Commissioner/Assistant Chief, Director of Operations and Deputy Chief Investigator for CID-West). This ADCI will supervise senior investigators and investigators handling CID cases and ensure that their investigations are thorough, timely, and fair, as well as compliant with all relevant policies and laws.

The qualifications include at least six years of investigative experience and at least two years of leadership, management, and supervisory experience. Experience investigating drug smuggling, gun trafficking, threats of violence, and deaths of individuals is preferred. OSI may accept relevant advanced educational degrees (i.e., above high school or GED) as a substitute for investigative experience on a two-years education for one-year investigative experience basis for all of OSI's peace officer positions. For example, an associate degree (2 years) in criminal justice and forensic science can be substituted for one year of investigative experience, and a bachelor's degree (4 years) in pre-law and criminal justice can be substituted for two years of investigative experience. Candidates should also have demonstrated leadership qualities. Strong leadership and the ability to adapt to a changing environment and handle multiple priorities are necessary. This position will require a high degree of organizational and writing skills, as well as availability to respond immediately to incidents and possibly remain in the area as needed.

OSI investigative staff must possess, at a minimum, knowledge of the applicable laws, the highest levels of behavior including personal integrity and ethics; fairness; character; judgment; attitude; and respect for and ability to work with others inside and outside OSI. OSI investigative staff must have state-of-the-art technical skills for thorough and objective investigations and to fulfill OSI's mission. Appropriate licensure and certifications (including being or becoming a peace officer qualified to carry a firearm) are also required. The ability to travel is also necessary. OSI is committed to promoting diversity and inclusion by ensuring equal justice and opportunity without discrimination against any person based on their protected class. All applicants must pass a background check and be able to obtain a security clearance.
