The Staten Island District Attorney proudly represents the people of Staten Island as the highest ranking law enforcement official in Richmond County.
- I have a better idea: how about a moratorium on criminal activity instead?We’re calling for an immediate moratorium on NYPD arrests. “We are in the midst of a pandemic and our last priority should be to cycle New Yorkers through our broken criminal justice system, separated from their families, communities, and quality services.” More:
- These policies roll out the welcome mat for would-be criminals to commit serious offenses without serious consequences, & ignores the victims of these crimes. It is fantasy to believe this approach will make our City safer We will continue to operate in reality on Staten Island.SI prosecutor McMahon rips Manhattan DA Bragg's soft-on-crime approach trib.al/0BdUK4u
- Today we welcomed @NYPDPC Sewell to Staten Island to discuss our unique public safety challenges and to express our continued support for the 30,000+ men and women under her command. Looking forward to continuing our work to keep SI the safest borough in NYC!
- Nobody in NYS is arguing cash bail is the ideal system. However, this case makes crystal clear why forbidding judicial discretion is a recipe for disaster. Let's join EVERY OTHER STATE in the nation and give Judges discretion to consider public safety! nypost.com/2020/01/11/ser…
- God speed Firefighter Gill!After 5 days in the Staten Island Hospital Burn Center, Firefighter Brian Gill has been officially released from the hospital’s care. Brian, a member of Rescue 5, was injured last Friday after searching for any trapped victims in a hot and smokey apartment,
00:00 - Deeply saddened at the passing of beloved @PS56R Principal Phil Carollo. Our thoughts are with the families, staff, and loved ones of a great educator and leader who will be deeply missed by so many
- As many of you know, it has been a tough time for my family as we recently lost Oma & Opa, Meta & Tom, or as I knew them, Mom & Dad They were incredible people, and we will all miss them terribly My sincere thanks to all who sent such comforting words, thoughts, & sympathies
- Cash bail is a flawed system. But forbidding our Judges from considering an individual's danger to the community lacks common sense & makes NY an embarrassing outlier. We must fix! @NYGovCuomo @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins
- My staff & I are happy to join my fellow elected officials, led by our BP @HeyNowJO, in delivering 5000 N95 masks to our heroes on the front lines, the men & women at @SIUHOSPITAL & @RUMCSI working around the clock to treat our loved ones and neighbors. God bless these heroes!
- Over the last few days I sat down w/ @NYPDCommAffairs Chief Maddrey, & Commissioner @NYPDShea. Our partnership and communication is essential to keeping Staten Island safe AND deepening the trust with the communities we serve. We know that one cannot happen without the other.
- Great work by the Kansas City PD @kcpolice and federal partners to seize five pounds, equal to 1.5 million deadly doses of fentanyl which were on their way to New York. Their actions undoubtedly saved lives.
- In a city w/ a jail population lower than it has been in 70 years, the only solution to #COVID19 at Rikers cannot be: release everyone. As our city faces an unprecedented public health challenge, this is no time to unleash a public safety crisis as well.
- Welcoming Staten Island’s new #NYPD Borough Commander Chief Kenneth Corey. We will work together to keep Staten Islanders safe while tackling the many issues facing our borough. @NYPDnews #StatenIsland
