Job Description
The Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (GSOC) is an independent statutory body. Its objective is to ensure that complaints against members of the Garda Síochána are examined in a way which is both transparent and equitable, and which increases public confidence in police oversight. GSOC is in the process of undertaking a major transformation project, as a result of the new Policing, Security and Community Safety Act. One of the key changes in the Act is renaming GSOC as Fiosrú - The Office of the Police Ombudsman. This new title is expected to be in place by the end of 2024. GSOC is now seeking a suitably qualified and committed individual to take up the role of Digital Forensic Specialist (Higher Executive Officer) in its Digital Intelligence Unit. Reporting to a Senior Investigation Officer (Assistant Principal level), the Digital Forensic Specialist will play a central role in the provision of specialist digital investigation assistance and advice to GSOC and will also engage in a wide range of functions to support the delivery of effective and efficient systems in the Digital Intelligence Unit. Digital Forensic Specialists are involved in the investigation process and will be required to present evidence if any of their cases are brought to court. The closing date for receipt of completed applications is 3pm on Thursday 24th of October 2024. We are committed to a policy of equal opportunity and encourage applications under all nine grounds of the Employment Equality Act. #J-18808-Ljbffr
