Homicide Bureau

The Homicide Bureau investigates and prosecutes murders, manslaughters and criminally negligent homicides that occur in Suffolk County. The Bureau works closely with the Suffolk County Police Department’s Homicide Squad in the course of its investigations.

All homicides are brought to the Bureau’s attention at the initial stage of the police investigation. The Bureau’s Assistant District Attorneys are on call at all times to respond to all homicide scenes, as well as to assist, as necessary, the investigating law enforcement agency. Once a Bureau Attorney has been notified of the occurrence of a homicide, he or she makes contact with the investigating officer at the scene, ensures that all evidence is complete, requests laboratory tests and photographs, supervises identification procedures, prepares search warrants and other legal process, and provides legal advice whenever requested. This spirit of cooperation has resulted in more effective investigations and prosecutions of homicides in Suffolk County.
