Description
The City of Phoenix established the Office of Accountability and Transparency (OAT) to review administrative investigations involving members of the Phoenix Police Department. OAT makes findings about the completeness and thoroughness of these administrative investigations and makes recommendations for future investigations to the Police Chief, Mayor's Office, City Manager's Office, and the Civilian Review Board. Additionally, OAT makes recommendations regarding policy and training issues to advance the mission of the City of Phoenix.
OAT is seeking Senior Reviewers to review administrative investigations involving members of the Phoenix Police Department. This role has two primary functions: reviewing administrative investigations and evaluating and processing complaints or commendations from members of the public. In the reviewing role, the incumbent will comprehensively review administrative investigations, thoroughly review and evaluate evidence and investigative procedures used, write professional and well-reasoned reports, and make recommendations for future investigations. When taking complaints and commendations, the incumbent will be expected to engage professionally, tactfully, and compassionately with members of the public.
Reviewers also are expected to engage in and support the other work groups in the office, including administration, community engagement, and mediation. Successful candidates will demonstrate both considerable independence and sound judgment necessary for reviewing and evaluating sensitive investigations; professional level writing skills; attention to detail; a team-oriented perspective; and the ability to maintain confidentiality, integrity, and impartiality in all work.
