In 2022, Governor Hochul signed Executive Order 19 which directs the New York State Police (NYSP) to file Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs). The OAG is charged with representing the NYSP in final ERPO hearings held in Supreme Courts throughout the state. ERPOs are a critical part of New York's efforts to promote public safety and keep its residents safe from gun violence. This position offers an exciting opportunity to help shape the state's practice in this new and important area of the law.

This position involves regular travel within Long Island, New York City, and Westchester County for court appearances and witness interviews and may include occasional overnight trips. In addition to their work on ERPO matters, the AAG's duties will include representing the state in other @types of affirmative investigations and litigation. The OAG's regional offices represent the state, its agencies, and officers in a wide range of federal and state court litigation, affirmative and defensive.
