Senior Investigator Jobs

What this job is about: The Senior Investigator will be an integral and collaborative member of a diverse investigation team that conducts complex high-profile investigations. In this role, you will investigate police use of deadly force incidents using a fair, thorough, transparent, and competent approach. * * What is OII? 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 deadly force investigations to be truly independent of the involved law enforcement agency. OII will define a new approach to investigating use of deadly force incidents by 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.
