Job Description

The mission of the New York City Police Department is to enhance the quality of life in New York City by working in partnership with the community to enforce the law, preserve peace, protect the people, reduce fear, and maintain order. The NYPD strives to foster a safe and fair city by incorporating Neighborhood Policing into all facets of Department operations, and solve the problems that create crime and disorder through an interdependent relationship between the people and its police, and by pioneering strategic innovation.

The Legal Bureau's Police Action Litigation Section ("PALS") assists the NYC Law Department in the defense of litigation against the City, the Police Department, and individual members of the service, where such litigation arises from police enforcement action.

The Section's objective is to increase the effectiveness of the Department's law enforcement actions while decreasing its civil liability.

Reporting directly to the Director, PALS, the agency attorney will:

Review, search, and analyze incoming police action-based lawsuits and claims filed;

Provide litigation support to the New York City Law Department in connection with lawsuits arising from police enforcement action;

Prepare high-ranking uniformed members of the service for depositions;

Prepare and present training on civil liability and evidence preservation throughout the Department; and

Identity, retrieve, and produce Department records, policies and other discovery materials that are needed to successfully litigate police action cases.
