Assistant Chief, Division of Law Enforcement (C.E.A. B)

This is a unique opportunity to help lead California's premier law enforcement agency. The Department of Justice Division of Law Enforcement (DLE) is seeking to hire an Assistant Chief, who provides leadership; oversees operations of the organization; provides administrative direction, policy guidance and advice, and program direction within the DLE; and oversees and coordinates legislative activities and serves as the liaison with the Legislature. The Assistant Chief has oversight responsibility for four bureaus (Bureau of Firearms, Bureau of Gambling Control, Bureau of Forensic Services, and Bureau of Investigation), and acts as the primary liaison with the Attorney General's executive staff and local law enforcement executives in the absence of the Chief. The Assistant Chief is also responsible for ensuring the timely processing of materials that require executive level approval for the DLE. It is strongly preferred the selected candidate meet the peace officer requirements under Penal Code 830.1, 830.2, or 830.3, or the equivalent federal or out-of-state law enforcement. Flexible schedules and telecommuting options may be available; however, the selected candidate will be expected to report to Department offices on a regular basis. Although the position is designated as statewide, the duties require a strong and consistent presence in the Northern California region, including frequent in-person engagement in the Sacramento and Bay Area offices. Candidates selected from outside Northern California should anticipate regular travel to those locations, as well as periodic travel to other Department of Justice offices throughout the state.
