Our Mission

The Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor serves the people of the City of New York by promoting the fair and equitable administration of justice for those of all races, colors, genders, sexual orientations, religions and nations of origin. Our mission is to protect public safety and prevent overdose deaths through a holistic approach. We investigate and prosecute high-level narcotics trafficking organizations and illicit prescription drug distribution networks, respond to community complaints about persistent drug activity and associated violence, and perform outreach to young people and families to educate them about the opioid crisis and particularly lethal fentanyl. Alternatives to incarceration are essential components of an effective strategy to save lives and reduce arrests.
