ALBANY, NEW YORK - The New York and New Jersey Detectives Crime Clinic awarded First Assistant United States Attorney John A. Sarcone III with it's Outstanding Law Enforcement Executive Award during their 2026 Awards Luncheon.

Founded in 1942, The New York and New Jersey Detectives Crime Clinic brings together members of law enforcement for networking, training, and recognition of their dedication to public safety throughout the community.

"It is a true honor to be recognized by the dedicated men and women of the NY/NJ Crime Clinic. These public servants devote their careers to protecting our communities, and I am grateful for their service," said First Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarcone. "Since being appointed to lead the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of New York, I have worked tirelessly to strengthen collaboration among our Federal, State, and Local law enforcement partners-sharing resources, intelligence, and a unified dedication to public safety and justice."

Sarcone continued, "Growing up, my father served our community as a Detective for the Town of Greenburgh Police Department. I believe that had he been with us longer, he would have continued his life of service and likely been involved in this very organization. I know he would be proud of the work being done here today. I want to thank President Robert Basso and the entire organization for their efforts and for this humbling award."

John A. Sarcone is the First Assistant United States Attorney for the Northern District of New York. United States Attorney's Offices conduct most of the trial work in which the United States is a party. The United States Attorneys have three primary statutory responsibilities under Section 547 of Title 28 of the United States Code: the prosecution of criminal cases brought by the federal government; the prosecution and defense of civil cases in which the United States is a party; and the collection of debts owed to the federal government which are administratively uncollectible.

The Northern District of New York encompasses 32 counties in Northern and Central New York, covering an area of more than 30,000 square miles. It is home to approximately 3.4 million people.
