Intelligence Analyst, Level I - Spec. Victims Div./ Human Trafficking Unit

The Office of the District Attorney, Bronx County (“BXDA”) is charged with the twin goals of ensuring public safety and striving for equal justice for the over 1.4 million members of the Bronx County community. By “Pursuing Justice with Integrity,” the BXDA places a focus on assistance for crime victims while simultaneously ensuring fairness to defendants. Moreover, the BXDA aims to balance the need to seek appropriate punishment for certain crimes while recognizing when punitive measures do not adequately advance justice. By recognizing these significant distinctions and acting accordingly, BXDA has established a standard of excellence in the representation of the Bronx community at large, which continues to grow stronger every day.

In furtherance of this mission, the Human Trafficking Unit (HTU), located within the Special Victims Division, works closely with the New York City Police Department, other law enforcement agencies, and members of the community to proactively identify current, former, and potential victims of sex and labor trafficking, as well as to investigate, apprehend, and convict those who promote, profit from, or patronize the commercial sex or labor trafficking trades. HTU is seeking an Intelligence Analyst who will be responsible for providing HTU with investigative, analytical, and investigative support.

This position is specifically for an Intelligence Analyst who would be assigned full-time to the Human Trafficking Unit, though the Intelligence Analyst will work closely with the Crime Strategies Bureau (CSB), located within the Strategic Innovations Division, which works to identify groups and individuals most responsible for committing crimes that impact our community, with a specific focus on violent crime.
