Statement From District Attorney Tierney on the Death of Nassau County Police Officer Patricia Espinosa

Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the tragic loss of Officer Espinosa, a dedicated law enforcement officer from Nassau County. Although she served a neighboring community, she lived in Suffolk with her family and her death is felt deeply here. The law enforcement family is a shared one, and when we lose an officer, we all grieve together.

Officer Espinosa committed her life to protecting others. She put on the uniform each day to serve her community, and her courage, professionalism, and sacrifice will not be forgotten. We extend our deepest condolences to her family, loved ones, colleagues, and the entire Nassau County law enforcement community during this incredibly painful time.

My office is committed to honoring Officer Espinosa’s life and service by pursuing justice with the seriousness and integrity this case demands. We will hold the defendant accountable through the legal process and ensure that the rule of law is upheld.

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