Longtime former Justice Department official Roslyn A. Mazer was nominated by President Barack Obama for the position of inspector general of the Homeland Security Department Tuesday.
Mazer served at the DOJ from 1993 to 2009, including seven years in the Office of Inspector General. She rose from associate deputy attorney general, to the attorney general’s representative to the Interagency Security Classification Appeals Panel from 1996 to 2001, and then special counsel for intellectual property in the department’s Criminal Division.
Prior to working at Justice, Mazer worked as a partner for Dickstein Shapiro LLP.
She currently serves as the IG of the Office of Director of National Intelligence, where she manages inspections, audits and investigations of the office’s operations. She is also a chair of the Intelligence Community Inspectors General Forum.
Mazer will replace former Inspector General Richard Skinner, who retired March. But first, she faces Senate confirmation for the position.
