CRIMINAL BUREAU

Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell is looking for a highly motivated individual with a commitment to public service to join the Digital Evidence Laboratory (DEL) within the Criminal Bureau. The DEL is a statewide unit comprised of digital forensic investigators and support personnel tasked with collecting and analyzing mobile devices, computers, media, and data from networks and third-party providers. Additionally, DEL personnel lead cyber initiatives across Massachusetts and the country designed to improve law enforcement’s ability to collect and analyze digital evidence and investigate the cyber components of criminal activity. One of the most significant of these training initiatives is the National Cyber Crime Conference, one of the largest annual law enforcement cybercrime and digital evidence training events.

The CCIC will also serve as a member of the Support Staff team within the Criminal Bureau and will be expected to report in a dual supervision capacity.

• Assisting with managing the division budget
• Organizing case intake and maintaining case files
• Archiving and disposal of case files and evidence
• Preparing reports of DEL activity
• Provide administrative support and coverage within the Criminal Bureau
