Pros
1
The office has hardworking and dedicated prosecutors who care for the community and seek fair justice on each case
“This office has the most hard working and dedicated prosecutors. They care for the community and seek fair justice on each and every single case.”
2
The office is working to create effective offender re-integration community programming, emphasizing rehabilitation over excessive punishment
“The Dutchess County's DA's Office is doing the right thing by working with Probation to create effective offender re-intgration community programming. We are all safer and better off when we create a criminal justice system that emphasizes rehabilitation, instead of excessive punishment, and I am proud to see hat they are leading the way.”
Cons
1
The office has been unprofessional, rude, and condescending in interactions with some members of the public
“Miriam Citro is the most unprofessional, rude and condescending person I have EVER spoken to in my life . I was yelled at by her , and she rudely hung up the phone on.”
2
The office has shown a lack of understanding and compassion towards individuals with autism and other disabilities
“The DAs office apparently lacks the awareness to deal with autism in the community. Vinnie Carroza is an autistic man with special needs who has been locked up unfairly and much to his detriment.”
3
The office has been accused of censoring and deleting comments and questions from constituents, refusing to answer legitimate questions
“The Facebook page named "Grady for District Attorney", presumably run by incumbent Dutchess County DA Bill Grady, is censoring and deleting questions and comments from constituents that are posted to the page. Why and what is Bill Grady hiding? Why does he not only refuse to answer questions or comments, but why is he censoring and deleting questions and comments protected by the 1st Amendment?”
