A 3619 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to granting the attorney general jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute police misconduct

This bill grants the state attorney general direct authority to investigate and prosecute police misconduct, including incidents occurring both on and off duty. It requires such cases to be handled in courts outside the county where the alleged misconduct occurred, limiting local prosecutors to following the attorney general's direction. The county where the incident happened must cover all costs for the attorney general's office, including staff salaries. This directly affects police officers under investigation, local district attorneys, and county budgets.
