On April 13, 2021 Dave Sunday York County District Attorney spoke at our weekly meeting. The District Attorney reviewed the challenges that the Covid 19 pandemic has brought to the office. The District Attorney’s office handles over 10,000 cases each year of which 2,000 are juvenile and that number has not decreased over the last year. The number of DUI cases is the same as last year, consisting of one third followed by drug cases at one third as well. Seventy percent of all cases are either mental health or drug related. As a result of the pandemic the number of heroin overdoses has doubled. Even with early planning the everyday workings of the office have been difficult at best. |
