PBA Statement on Departure of Queens DA Richard Brown

PBA President Patrick J. Lynch said:

“Judge Brown’s strong and steady leadership as Queens District Attorney will be sorely missed. For nearly thirty years, he and his staff stood shoulder to shoulder with New York City police officers and worked tirelessly to reclaim the borough and our entire city from crime and chaos. It would be impossible to count the lives saved and crimes prevented under his watch. The Queens we know today — a diverse, thriving community and an attractive place to live and do business — would not have been possible without Judge Brown’s public safety leadership. His legacy must be preserved, and his work must continue.”
