  • Annual Report 2020
    BRAVE JUSTICE ANNUAL REPORT 2020 MELINDA KATZ DISTRICT ATTORNEY Queens District Attorney 125-01 Queens Boulevard Kew Gardens, NY 11415 TABLE OF CONTENTS 2 MESSAGE FROM DISTRICT ATTORNEY MELINDA KATZ A MESSAGE FROM DISTRICT ATTORNEY MELINDA KATZ 2020 was a year like no other. From the start, I knew it would take a steady hand to achieve brave justice and create a more equitable criminal justice system while keeping Queens’ communities safe. On day one, my team and I effectuated new policies, practices and structures designed to create the safest and fairest borough in the city. We immediately began navigating through the challenging implementation of New York State’s long awaited historic bail and discovery reform. I could not have anticipated the challenges to come: those already tumultuous waters deepened in just three months’ time, as a world-wide pandemic hit the city. And not long after, our city transformed yet again in the wake of historic protests and calls for meaningful police reform. This past year, we bravely rose above the turbulent waters. We began building bridges – bridges that will keep our communities safe while embracing new, progressive approaches toward prosecution and the criminal justice system. Inside this book, we will explore the remarkable bridge building we have started, in what has proven to be an unparalleled year: A bridge to Trust – where an emphasis is placed on new progressive leadership, staff training, and a demand for excellence and professionalism throughout a newly structured organization that is designed to further our mission to achieve brave justice. A bridge to Fairness – by instituting new policies that work to address racial and economic disparities, such as reducing prosecution of low-level offenses, utilizing alternatives to cash bail, reducing incarceration, making fair and just plea agreements, and providing more opportunities for rehabilitation and redemption from past violations.
