The January 23, 2017 Presidential Memorandum, entitled "Hiring Freeze" ordered government agencies (including the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General, DoD OIG) to freeze all hiring of Federal Civilian employees. In an effort to ensure DoD OIG is best positioned to resume hiring after the hiring freeze expires and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issues its plan to reduce the size of the Federal Government's workforce, DoD OIG will continue its recruitment efforts (post job vacancy announcements, evaluate and screen applicants, interview, etc.) NO EMPLOYMENT POSITIONS WILL BE FILLED UNTIL RESOLUTION OF THE HIRING FREEZE, or the position qualifies for a hiring exemption pursuant to OMB guidance. We appreciate your patience and understanding in this process.
If you would like to be a part of a federal organization dedicated to serving our nation and those who defend it, consider a career with the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General (DoDIG). The agency promotes integrity, accountability and improvement of critical DoD programs and operations to support mission accomplishment and to serve the public interest.

This position is located within the Office of the Deputy Inspector General for Policy and Oversight, Investigative Policy and Oversight Directorate. Incumbent will work as a Criminal Investigator in the Violent Crimes Division.
