Additional duties include: prosecution of crimes involving diversion of opioids and other controlled prescription drugs; regular collaboration with the state agencies responsible for administering Medi-Cal and regulating residential care facilities; close interaction with healthcare experts to identify the relevant standards of care in the industry and determine any breach of those standards; frequent work with forensic experts, including computer forensic examiners, coroners, and forensic auditors; freezing and forfeiting assets; and close work with DMFEA&rsquo;s federal and local law enforcement partners in California, and occasional work with Attorney General offices and other law enforcement in other states.</div><div></div><div><br>
This position requires the ability to travel for court proceedings including, but not limited to, preliminary hearings and jury trials sometimes overnight and on occasion for extended duration, and for meetings with colleagues, witnesses, and outside partners.</div><br>
<p></p>
</div><p></p><div><p>Working Conditions</p>
