Prosecutes all criminal cases in the Bronx, from gun violence and drug offenses to domestic violence and fraud. Led by elected DA Darcel Clark (in her third term), the office handles one of the highest-volume caseloads in the state. The Bronx has historically had the highest violent crime rates among NYC boroughs. The DA's charging decisions, plea practices, and staffing levels directly determine whether dangerous people are held accountable -- and whether the system is fair to the accused.
