Nine Assistant U.S. Attorneys from Eastern District receive attorney general awards
Nine Assistant U.S. Attorneys from the Eastern District of New York, which covers Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and Long Island, were among the 244 department employees to be recognized at the 66th annual Attorney General Awards Ceremony.
The annual ceremony is meant to recognize employees and individuals who have “demonstrated exceptional achievements, leadership and service to the Department of Justice and the American people.”
“Service in the Department of Justice is more than a normal job; it is a calling to the highest standards of professionalism,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said. “That is true for all of the 115,000 Department of Justice employees. But it is especially true for these award winners. And so I want to thank them and their families for their exemplary service to this Department and to the American people. They have made this Department proud.”
