Notes:
Major Crimes are assigned at the pleasure of the Commonwealth’s Attorney; these are cases that, in the opinion of the Commonwealth's Attorney require—due to complexity, gravity, or public interest of issues presented—a specific level of experience or expertise. All homicides are considered Major Crimes. Major Crimes are assigned outside of team and rotation assignments at the discretion of the Commonwealth’s Attorney.
General rotation cases include: Drug Possession, Assaults on Police, Felony Larcenies, Burglarious Tools, Destruction of Property/Vandalism, Eluding, DMV Fraud, Prescription Fraud, Hit & Run, Worthless Checks, and any other felony offense investigated by patrol and not otherwise designated.
“White-Collar Offenses” are cases investigated by the Criminal Investigations Section (CIS) of the police department. White-Collar Crimes include Embezzlement, Identity Theft/Fraud, Forgery & Uttering, False Pretenses, Welfare Fraud, and other related felonies investigated by CIS. Other white-collar crimes are assigned in rotation as noted above.
Issues or questions related to electronic evidence orders or search warrants should be directed to one of the assistants designated as “Electronic Evidence Order/Warrant Review.” Once prepared, electronic evidence search warrants or orders should be emailed to Idis Rivera, who will ensure that they are assigned to the appropriate attorney for review. Orders for financial records should likewise be emailed to Idis Rivera, who will ensure that they routed to the White-Collar Prosecutor.
