The county's dismissal rate of 26.1 percent is nearly identical to the statewide average of 27.1 percent, suggesting disorderly conduct is handled consistently across New York. However, the trend over the past five years tells a different story: dismissals have declined sharply from 48.1 percent in 2019 to 22.2 percent in 2024, meaning prosecutors are securing convictions more readily in recent cases than they did earlier in the decade.

The path through the system shows most defendants remain in the community before trial, with 56 percent released on their own recognizance and bail set at a median of $2,500 when required. About one-third of cases see the charge reduced to something less serious, most commonly criminal contempt or harassment, which can affect the ultimate outcome. Among those convicted, jail time is the most frequent sentence at 30 percent, followed by prison at 16 percent, though some receive only fines or credit for time served. Cases typically resolve within four months.
