District Attorney Sini is committed to creating a culture of compliance with the highest ethical standards\, including creating the first ever Conviction Integrity Bureau in Suffolk County\, investing in new training programs for prosecutors and instituting smart prosecutions through the robust collection and analysis of data. The overall mission is to make the Office the best it can be\, seek justice in each and every case\, and ensure the safety and wellbeing of the great residents of Suffolk County. \nTo this end\, thus far\, District Attorney Sini has made over 250 personnel decisions\, recruited top talent at all levels to the Office\, overhauled the Office’s training program\, implemented smart criminal justice policies\, created new Bureaus to address the public safety issues of our time\, and dramatically increased the Office’s productivity. District Attorney Sini\, as promised during this campaign\, has focused the Office on aggressively addressing the drug epidemic\, eradicating violent street gangs such as MS-13\, combating the scourge of illegal dumping and other environmental crimes that threaten our environment and public health\, effectively confronting human trafficking\, and holding public officials accountable for their misdeeds. \nPrior to District Attorney Sini’s election\, he served as the 13th Commissioner of the Suffolk County Police Department\, which is the 11th largest police department in the nation.

During Sini’s tenure as Police Commissioner\, crime was reduced to historic levels\, with violent crime decreasing more than 15% and overall crime decreasing over 12%. District Attorney Sini brought the fight against the violent street gang MS-13 to the national stage by making it a top priority of the Department. Through a multi-pronged strategy\, the Suffolk County Police Department made well over 300 arrests of MS-13 gang members in just over one year and launched innovative community intervention strategies to prevent vulnerable children from becoming involved with gangs. District Attorney Sini testified before the United States Senate and House of Representatives regarding MS-13 and successfully lobbied the Department of Justice for additional resources to combat MS-13 in Suffolk County\, including a $500\,000 grant\, which was awarded after President Donald J.

District Attorney Sini also launched several new community intervention programs\, including the innovative Preventing Incarceration Via Opportunities for Treatment (PIVOT) Program\, an alternative to arrest program whereby the Suffolk County Police Department connects those suffering from drug addiction to treatment. \nDistrict Attorney Sini also made homeland security a top priority\, launching a number of initiatives including the SCPD Shield Program\, a private public partnership to decrease Suffolk County’s vulnerability to terrorism\, active shooter scenarios and street crime. District Attorney Sini also rolled out new technology to enhance the Department’s capabilities in fighting crime\, including a new\, award-winning intelligence-led policing platform. In addition\, District Attorney Sini launched a number of initiatives to increase the efficiency of the patrol division\, allowing officers to spend more time engaged in proactive police work and community policing\, and significantly reformed the Police Department’s Internal Affairs Bureau\, making it more accountable and responsive to community concerns. \nDistrict Attorney Sini serves as a representative on the White House’s Office of Drug Control Policy New York/New Jersey Regional HIDTA Team\, where he assists in creating strategies between public health and public safety agencies to reduce opioid overdoses in the region.

Both programs received National Association of Counties (NACo) awards. He also led the effort\, in collaboration with the Suffolk County Sheriff\, to lift the unfunded state mandate to build a third jail in Suffolk County by developing a plan to further invest in alternative to arrest programs. \nDistrict Attorney Sini started his career in law enforcement as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Criminal Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York where he served under U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara.
