About this user

Since becoming District Attorney in 1990, I have pioneered many innovative criminal justice strategies. I began one of the first specialized domestic violence bureaus in the country and then worked with court administrators to establish one of the first domestic violence court parts in New York State. In 2005, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and I started a United States Department of Justice funded Family Justice Center a one stop shopping service for victims of domestic violence and their surviving children. The Center is dedicated to the memory of my mother, Regina Katherine Drew.

I started one of the first Drug Treatment Alternative-to-Prison (DTAP) programs for chronic drug offenders in the country, which has rehabilitated hundreds of non-violent drug addicts and become a model for the nation.

I created a Crimes Against Children Bureau to bring special expertise to child abuse cases and a School Advocacy Bureau to handle cases that arise in schools or on school grounds.

I created a faith-based mentoring program called Youth and Congregations in Partnership to provide support to court-involved youth from members of Brooklyns churches, mosques and synagogues.

And I created an adopt-a-school program called Legal Lives to teach fifth graders about the criminal justice system, which is supplemented by a truancy reduction program called TRACK (Truancy Reduction Alliance to Contact Kids) which now has been copied in every other borough of New York City.

In 1999, I created the ComALERT (Community And Law Enforcement Resources Together) public safety program which supports individuals on probation or parole as they re-enter their Brooklyn communities. I was motivated to implement ComALERT by my philosophy that education, intervention and rehabilitation are as important as traditional law enforcement techniques. This program refers participants to community-based organizations that provide them with job training, job placement, education, housing, mental health and substance abuse counseling.

In 2005, I created the Girls Re-entry Assistance and Support Program (GRASP). GRASP is specifically designed to meet the needs of young women between the ages of 13 and 22 who are returning to the community after placement in a juvenile or adult correctional facility. Very few re-entry programs exist to provide services for young women at this critical juncture in their lives. All GRASP services are gender responsive in nature and include counseling, case-management, mentoring, anger and stress management, cultural and recreational activities, educational assistance and referrals for health services in addition to age appropriate career development and job placement.
