Who We Are
In response to deaths resulting from encounters with law enforcement and the community’s demand for change, the Washington State Legislature created a new, first-of-its-kind agency: the Office of Independent Investigations (OII). This new agency was formed in 2021 and operates under the requirements of the law in which investigations involving the use of deadly force must be truly independent of the involved law enforcement agency.
Our mission is to conduct fair, thorough, transparent, and competent investigations of incidents involving use of deadly force. This innovative approach to investigations will remove conflicts of interest, improve accountability and transparency, and renew the public’s confidence. Through these efforts, we hope to strengthen the relationships between police and the community, build public trust, and promote effective policing. To help us carry out this mission, we are looking for Investigators of all levels to join our growing team.
As an
Administrative Assistant on our diverse team, you will play an integral role within OII by supporting and serving as a point of contact for both the Director of Investigations and the Senior Legal & Policy Advisor. This position will be key in ensuring core administrative functions for the Investigations and Policy divisions are run efficiently by supporting critical operations, driving employee engagement, and working cross-functionally with other divisions as needed.
