This position involves real, active cases and highly confidential materials. We are seeking someone who takes these responsibilities seriously, communicates consistently, meets deadlines, and follows instructions carefully.

Comfort with computers, email, digital documents, and learning case management software.

The ability to work independently within instructions and ask questions when clarification is needed.

A willingness to accept feedback and apply it.

A valid driver’s license and reliable transportation for assignments requiring travel.

Who Should Apply

We welcome applicants interested in criminal justice, legal studies, paralegal work, private investigations, or office administration. Relevant experience is helpful, but strong transferable skills, a consistent work ethic, and a willingness to learn are also valuable.

Responsibilities will be assigned according to experience, training, applicable licensing requirements, and demonstrated readiness. Participation in particular cases, field assignments, or conferences will depend on agency needs.
