Job Summary:
The Cybercrime Section provides investigative and prosecutorial support at every stage of investigation and prosecution of cybercrimes in California. Additionally, the Cybercrime Section provides legal support to the five California regional high-tech task forces funded through the High Technology Theft Apprehension and Prosecution (HTTAP) Program, as well as to those rural counties not represented by an HTTAP funded task force.
Deputies in the Cybercrime Section are experienced criminal trial lawyers with a minimum of two (2) years litigation experience, preferably conducting criminal trials. Deputies must work independently in the investigation and prosecution of major, multi-jurisdictional, complex criminal cases involving technology-related crimes in California. Some examples of those crimes include unauthorized intrusions, internet fraud, scams or confidence schemes committed by means of electronic media, money laundering via cryptocurrency or electronic transfer, organized retail crimes involving significant digital evidence, cyberstalking, cyberextortion or cyberexploitation.
Cybercrime deputies develop and present curricula in training programs for judges, prosecutors, law enforcement and the public on technology safety issues and legal updates. The position currently permits a flexible work schedule, but requires some travel to fully participate in investigations and prosecutions in multiple jurisdictions.
