Who We Are
This website and the work of PCE is dedicated to Robert M. Morgenthau, the District Attorney of New York County from 1975 to 2009. His integrity, decency, intelligence and courage set the standard for what a prosecutor should be.
Mission Statement
Mission Statement
The mission of Prosecutors’ Center for Excellence is to assist prosecutors with creating a fair and equitable criminal justice system, enhancing community trust, and implementing the initiatives of a modern prosecutor office. Prosecutors have an ethical duty to protect public safety as well as the rights of the accused, and must keep abreast of the rapid changes and the flow of recommendations impacting their work. PCE is dedicated to assisting prosecutors with these challenges.
