As Chief of Staff, Anne acts as policy advisor to the Sheriff and has general oversight of all Department operations and divisions. An attorney since 1989, Anne’s public service includes 10 years in the Attorney General’s Office and two years in the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office. She has been the Department’s General Counsel for the past three years.

During her tenure in the Attorney General’s Office, Anne represented the Commonwealth and various state agencies in a wide variety of civil matters while in the Torts Division. She also served as a line prosecutor in both the Criminal Bureau and the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, where she prosecuted narcotics and so-called “white collar offenses” – including larceny, securities fraud and political corruption, as well as Medicaid fraud and crimes against the elderly.

Just prior to coming to the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department, Anne served as the Deputy Chief of the Fair Labor and Business Practices Division of the Attorney General’s Office where she was responsible for the direct management and supervision of all division staff, Assistant Attorneys General, pre-litigation investigations and all cases in litigation. She was instrumental in the Division’s first time implementation of employee performance evaluations.

As this Department’s General Counsel, Anne refocused the responsibilities of the legal staff from handling many non-legal administrative matters to an emphasis primarily on litigation and pertinent legal issues. An essential member of the Policy Review Committee, she contributed to the significant revision of many existing policies as well as the elimination of redundant ones.

As Chief of Staff, Anne’s wealth of legal and managerial experience, accessible leadership style and cogent, thoughtful approach to issues will ensure this Department’s continued progress. She reports directly to the Sheriff.
