Robert Tendy was sworn in today as the new Putnam County District Attorney. The ceremony took place at the Historic Putnam County Courthouse, a fitting backdrop for the new DA. DA Tendy stated he “is proud and honored to serve the people of Putnam County”. DA Tendy has been an attorney since 1989 concentrating in the area of criminal law. He served in Manhattan under DA Robert Morgenthau as an Assistant District Attorney handling hundreds of cases. DA Tendy also served in private practice defending the rights of many citizens.
In 2008 DA Tendy ran for Supervisor of the Town of Putnam Valley where he was elected and continued to serve until his election as Putnam County District Attorney. The transition into politics was not an easy move, DA Tendy admits to “not being political by nature” but felt the need to get involved and make a difference.
DA Tendy pledged to work with local law enforcement and continue to “work hard, be honest, ethical and remain open to ideas”.
