Domestic Violence offenses are among the most heinous crimes committed on Staten Island. We have taken an all hands on deck approach to combat these horrific crimes and support those who have been victimized.
Although Staten Island remains the safest borough in the safest big city in America, we confront burglaries, robberies, gun violence, assault, and other “big-city” crimes each day. Learn what we are doing to keep Staten Islanders safe in their neighborhoods.
Crimes committed against animals, cruel in their own right, are often predictive crimes that indicate an offender’s likelihood to harm another human. Read more about what we are doing to prosecute those who harm animals & our pets.
In order to effectively serve the community as a whole, the Community Partnership Unit serves as a critical link between our office and the people of Staten Island. This Unit works to address existing crime and public safety concerns, educates community members on the issues we are facing, and develops strategies and partnerships to prevent crime in all its forms.
At the start of the opioid crisis on Staten Island, there was a phrase used by prosecutors with the district attorney’s office to describe repeat offenders with a substance-abuse disorder: “Living a life sentence five days at a time.”
A 21st Century District Attorney’s Office doesn’t just prosecute crime, it also strives to prevent it by building strong relationships in the community. Under District Attorney McMahon’s leadership, RCDA created its first Community Partnership Unit, which has brought historic changes to the relationship between Staten Island’s neighborhoods and law enforcement.
District Attorney McMahon promised the people of Staten Island that he would modernize and transform the Richmond County District Attorney’s Office for the 21st century. He has more than delivered on his promise. Check out some of the many achievements:
DA McMahon created the office’s first Domestic Violence Bureau and Victims Services Unit, and implemented new policies designed to ensure that victims are connected with services as soon as possible. Under his leadership, domestic violence arrests have declined by 20%.
Fulfilling his promise of protecting our seniors, DA McMahon launched the Elder Abuse Unit, which investigates and prosecutes crimes committed against senior citizens, including both financial and physical crimes . This unit works closely with the Community Partnership Unit to raise awareness of the types of crimes that typically target seniors on Staten Island. Often, these involve phone scams and various types of financial fraud.
HOPE’s success has led to the program expanding citywide and to the creation of HOPE 2.0, which expands the model to include a wider universe of eligible participants in post-arraignment cases, as well as the Staten Island Overdose Avoidance and Recovery Court (OAR).
