Westchester County District Attorney Susan Cacace has released her office’s 2025 Annual Report, detailing what the office did during the first year of her administration. The report discusses major initiatives, key metrics, notable prosecutions, victim services and community engagement efforts.
Cacace, who began her service as district attorney in 2025, previously had served as a Westchester County Court judge beginning in 2005.
“One of my administration’s most significant commitments is our community engagement efforts, strengthening ties with each of Westchester’s diverse communities to help develop proactive strategies for fighting crime,” Cacace said. “Our county is composed of 45 cities, towns and villages, most of which have their own local police department or their own courthouse. While everyone in this county deserves equal access to justice, delivering that justice cannot be through a one-size-fits-all approach. That’s why we spearheaded over 227 community safety presentations in 2025, helping tailor individual anti-crime solutions to the needs of local jurisdictions, such as schools, senior centers, houses of worship and other community groups.”
The 2025 Annual Report provides statistics on what happened during the year including: nearly 20,000 prosecutions being handled across County Court and more than 40 local courts; more than 60 trials and more than 140 hearings conducted, with 49 guilty verdicts secured at trial; more than 227 community outreach events organized, representing a 180% increase over the prior year; 6,246 Child Protective Services reports reviewed and investigated; more than 2,000 domestic violence victims supported through dedicated services.
The Economic Crimes Bureau, which investigates embezzlement, investment scams, forgeries, identity theft, insurance fraud and other schemes designed to steal money from victims in 2025 conducted 108 investigations into a variety of financial-related crimes, including larcenies, forgeries and tax crimes. The bureau also investigated various other financial scams including grandparent scams, business email compromises and check washing as well as wage theft and labor fraud investigations. The bureau was able to recover approximately $1,208,779 for victims of financial crimes in 2025.
The report notes that Cacace’s major policy initiatives included the inauguration of the office’s first Hate Crimes Advisory Board, enhanced enforcement tools addressing AI-based harassment and expanded coordination with community organizations across Westchester County.
“We remain committed to delivering justice with integrity, fairness and accountability, while continuing to build a safer and more responsive Westchester for all,” Cacace said.
