BUFFALO, NY – U.S. Attorney Trini E. Ross has been selected as the Chairperson for the Attorney General’s Advisory Committee (AGAC) sub-committee on Law Enforcement Coordination, Victim Assistance and Community Relations. In this role, Ms. Ross will lead the sub-committee that will advise the Attorney General on matters involving law enforcement, victim assistance, and community relations. 

On March 30, 2022, Attorney General Merrick B. Garland announced the appointment of Ms. Ross as one of the 12 members to serve on the Attorney General’s Advisory Committee of U.S. Attorneys (AGAC). Created in 1973, the AGAC advises the Attorney General on matters of policy, procedure, and management impacting the Offices of the U.S. Attorneys and elevates the voices of U.S. Attorneys in Department policies.

“It is an honor to be asked to lead this sub-committee, which will focus on aspects of our job that are vital to the work we do,” stated U.S. Attorney Ross. “The importance of fostering positive relationships with members of law enforcement, and those living in the communities we are responsible for protecting, should not be understated. It is also important that we always remember the victims as we pursue justice to ensure their voices are heard. This sub-committee allows us to be a conduit to build trust between law enforcement and the community, and to work to protect those who have been victimized. I look forward to working with my colleagues so we can advise the Attorney General on these very important relationships.”
