Latest news and updates from the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office.

Push for Legislative Changes

In his steadfast dedication to keeping the residents of Suffolk County and New York State safe, District Attorney Tierney’s office coordinated the introduction of a bipartisan legislation package to help combat the current fentanyl crisis. He traveled to Albany with family members whose loved ones were killed by fentanyl poisoning in order to urge lawmakers to rectify the loopholes in our current laws. While there, DA Tierney also stood alongside victims whose lives were torn apart by drugged drivers that have yet to be held accountable due to the lack of common-sense laws in NYS.

Criminal complaints and indictments are merely accusatory instruments. Defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty. No one is above the law.
