The Richmond County District Attorney’s Office is committed to ensuring its digital content is accessible to and usable by people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone by applying the relevant accessibility standards.

Conformance Status
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Our digital content is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to this accessibility standard.

Feedback We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of our digital content. Please inform us if you encounter accessibility issues by using the Website Accessibility Feedback Form below.  If you require reasonable accommodation accessing a particular program or service, please reach out to RCDA’s Disability Services Coordinator at  disabilityservices@rcda.nyc.gov.

Assessment Approach
RCDA assesses the accessibility of its digital content through self-evaluation.

Limited English Proficient Population in New York City
With more than 3 million foreign-born residents from more than 200 different countries, New York is home to one of the most diverse populations in the world. New Yorkers come from every corner of the globe and speak over 200 different languages.

Nearly one-half of all New Yorkers speak a language other than English at home, and almost 25%, or 1.8 million persons, are not English Proficient. For these New Yorkers, interacting with City Government can often be a challenge. In February 2017, City Council passed Local Law 30, which required all City agencies to provide opportunities for Limited English speakers to communicate and receive services; therefore, the Richmond County District Attorney’s office provides free interpretation services for constituents and other visitors as requested.
