\n More crime, more prosecutors. Less crime, more prosecutors.<\/p>\n

New York\u2019s district attorneys have gone on a hiring spree in the past decade, a time when crime plummeted to historic lows, a new analysis shows.<\/p>\n

The DAs in the five boroughs and the special narcotics prosecutor beefed up their staffs by nearly a third, although arrests dropped by 45%, the city\u2019s Independent Budget Office found.<\/a><\/p>\n

And city taxpayers are picking up the tab. This fiscal year, the city budgeted $456 million for the offices \u2013 roughly $446 million from New Yorkers, $10 million from state and federal grants.<\/p>\n

For CUNY law professor Steven Zeidman, the \u201cenormous growth reveals a knee-jerk funding to law enforcement.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJust think about what that money could have done to improve education, health, housing, and job opportunities in neighborhoods decimated by hyper-aggressive policing and prosecuting,\u201d he told The Post.<\/p>\n

Today, the DAs have nearly 4,700 employees, compared with roughly 3,600 in 2010 \u2013 and trip<\/a>le the number in 1980, when crime increased steadily.<\/p>\n

Manhattan DA Cy Vance, for example, has 1,551 staffers \u2013 306 more than the 1,245 when he came into office a decade ago and the same number that all the DAs combined had 40 years ago, according to the findings of senior budget analyst Bernard O\u2019Brien.<\/p>\n

Vance\u2019s office explained the higher body count by ticking off a list of the staffer contributions \u2014 from launching initiatives to guarantee equal justice to investigating complex crimes like identity theft to meeting the state\u2019s new discovery requirements, which force prosecutors to turn over evidence to defendants within 15 days.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thankful for the funding that helps us excel as a 21st century prosecutor\u2019s office,\u201d spokeswoman Emily Tuttle told The Post, adding that penalties paid by white-collar crooks have added $1.24 billion to city coffers \u2013 more than 10 times the office\u2019s annual city funding.<\/p>\n

The Staten Island DA\u2019s office, though, had the biggest percentage jump \u2013 145% \u2014 from 82 to 201. And roughly 90% of the hires have been added since 2016, when Michael McMahon took the reins.<\/p>\n

McMahon used his staffers to create bureaus and units \u2013 the domestic violence bureau and the gangs and guns unit, for instance \u2013 as well as diversion programs and anti-drug initiatives to fight the opioid epidemic, a spokesman said.<\/p>\n

All the office\u2019s efforts \u201chave required an increase in the overall number of prosecutors, analysts, and support staff all working\u2026to keep our borough safe,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In Queens, the DA\u2019s office grew from 509 to 722. Many of the 213 hires do community outreach and now help prosecutors meet the discovery requirements, a spokesperson wrote in an email. \u201cStaffing for Assistant District Attorneys in the Queens DA\u2019s Office has remained steady for nearly 20 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bronx DA\u2019s office jumped from 680 to 1,000, a gain of 320. \u201cWe not only prosecute people,\u201d spokeswoman Patrice O\u2019Shaughnessy said. \u201cDiscovery reform requires personnel, from ADAs to trial prep assistants, to investigators, tech people, analysts, etc.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like his counterparts, Brooklyn DA spokesman Oren Yaniv talked about adhering to the discovery law. But he also pointed to fighting violent crime as a key reason why the office has grown from 893 to 1,054. \u201cThe increase shows we still have to ensure public safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

The special narcotics prosecutor\u2019s office challenged the analysis, which lists 200 staffers \u2013 up from 176 in 2010. Spokeswoman Kati Cornell put today\u2019s number at 213, up from 209.<\/p>\n

Cornell explained the numbers from the analysis reflected positions the city started funding after state and federal grants dried up. The analysis, too, notes a stark drop in positions funded by state or federal grants \u2014 from almost 500 in 1980 to fewer than 150 this year.<\/p>\n

The 14 new hires are all what Cornell described as non-legal support staff to help assist prosecutors with complex investigations and to meet the discovery deadlines.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile complex investigations yield fewer arrests, consistent with the city\u2019s goals to reduce incarceration, these cases make a greater impact than lower level arrests,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Hofstra legal ethics professor Ellen Yaroshefsky told The Post that cities nationwide have watched their DA\u2019s offices balloon.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis phenomenon is a national one,\u201d she said. \u201cThe increase in monies for prosecution as crime deceased is seen as a major cause of mass incarceration.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
