The District Attorney’s Office represents the People of the State of New York in bringing charges against a suspect in a court of law. The New York County District Attorney’s Office has the responsibility and authority to investigate and prosecute crimes in the borough of Manhattan, with a focus on combatting gun violence, centering survivors of sexual and gender-based violence, combatting white collar, prosecuting hate crimes, elevating effective alternatives to incarceration, holding law enforcement accountable, and vacating unjust convictions. Alvin Bragg was overwhelmingly elected Manhattan District Attorney in 2021, becoming only the fourth person elected to the office in 80 years. The office staffs approximately 550 attorneys as Assistant District Attorneys (ADAs).
