The Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor (SNP) in New York City collaborates with elected District Attorneys to investigate and prosecute felony narcotics cases across all five boroughs. Established in 1971, SNP has the authority to handle felony cases involving narcotics and related crimes, aiming to protect city residents and ensure a fair criminal justice system.
Under the leadership of Bridget G. Brennan, the first woman to hold the position, SNP has developed innovative strategies to combat drug trafficking and address the opioid epidemic. With a staff of approximately 200 legal and support personnel, SNP works towards reducing demand for narcotics through public awareness and alternative dispositions, while also facilitating treatment for individuals with substance use issues.
