• Analyze digital evidence in furtherance of investigations and prosecutions.


• Assist in the coordination of trainings and assembly of training materials.


• Organize seized monies, as well as track seizure and forfeiture processes.


• Assist the CAT Task Force Coordinator with duties pertaining to the task force as needed.


• Any additional duties necessary to effectuate the above responsibilities.


• Perform administrative duties consistent with the needs of the Division.

The Paralegal will work closely with the prosecutors, victim witness advocates, and investigators assigned to the Human Trafficking Division, as well as with federal, state, and local law enforcement partners.

Position Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or associate degree or an equivalent combination of related education and/or experience is required.


• Demonstrated interest in, and understanding of, the sensitive nature of working on investigations that involve allegations of sexual assault, exploitation, and other forms of violence.


• Excellent organizational and analytical skills, and ability to prioritize tasks.


• Effective written and verbal communication skills.


• Proficiency with Microsoft Office software (including word processing, database, and spreadsheet software programs), and ability to learn case management software.


• Excellent work ethic and sound judgment in decision making.


• A valid Massachusetts driver’s license is required, as travel is necessary to various courts and offices throughout the Commonwealth.

The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate a connection to the people and communities we serve and an interest in supporting a respectful and inclusive work environment.
