Regional Investigations Supervisor Jobs

In 2021, the Washington State Legislature created the Office of Independent Investigations (OII), captured in RCW 43.102 {rel="nofollow"}. This is in response to the demand for change from the community over citizen deaths resulting from encounters with law enforcement. The law requires these use of force investigations to be truly independent of the involved law enforcement agency. OII will define a new approach to investigating use of force incidents, removing conflicts of interest and improving accountability, transparency and the public's confidence. Doing so will strengthen the relationship between police and the community while building public trust and promoting effective policing. * * Position Overview: As the Regional Investigations Supervisor, you will ensure critical decisions are made in response to incidents reported by involved law enforcement agencies.
