In Broome County, disorderly conduct cases result in conviction 71.5% of the time, slightly above the statewide average. The dismissal rate of 27.8% tracks nearly identically with statewide patterns at 27.1%, suggesting this charge is handled consistently across New York. However, a concerning trend emerges: dismissal rates have declined from 27.0% in 2019 to 22.7% in 2024, meaning fewer cases are being dismissed and more are reaching guilty verdicts. Cases take a median of 201 days to resolve, a lengthy process that leaves defendants waiting for resolution.

Pretrial release presents significant barriers in Broome County: nearly 46% of defendants are remanded without bail, while only 26% secure release on their own recognizance. Among those who receive bail, the median amount is $1,000. If convicted, roughly a quarter of defendants receive jail time, while similar proportions face probation or time-served sentences. Notably, 77% of disorderly conduct charges are reduced before trial—predominantly to criminal contempt. This high reduction rate suggests prosecutors often lower charges, but the prevalence of remand and declining dismissals indicate Broome County pursues these cases more aggressively than broader state trends show.
