Family targeting of prosecutor households
For households of DAs, ADAs, AUSAs, and state-level prosecutors. The threat looks like LE; the legal coverage doesn't always.

Prosecutors collect adversaries the way cops do — by case, over a career. The defendants you charged. Their relatives. Their associates. Most of them never act on the grudge. The handful who do find your household through the same broker pages they'd use to find anyone else.
The targeting patterns mirror LE households. Spouse harassment on social media. Unfamiliar contacts at a kid's school. Calls to a parent's workplace. Sometimes more — a vehicle that lingers near the house, a stranger who knows the spouse's name in a context where they shouldn't.
For federal prosecutors (AUSAs), the risk concentrates around drug, fraud, and organized-crime cases. For state prosecutors, years of routine cases produce a steadier trickle of low-grade targeting that sometimes escalates.
What's at stake
The same things at stake for any LE household. Spouse's workplace. Kid's school. Parent's address. Plus the specific risk that a former defendant with time to plan can build a target package on the household over months.
In NJ, Daniel's Law covers prosecutors and qualifying immediate family members residing in the same household. Most states do not have an equivalent statute for prosecutors.
What to do right now
Run a free scan on the spouse and on any parent in your area. If a relative is already fielding threats from a former defendant or their network, run the family-threats playbook — it walks the time-bucketed steps from the first contact through long-term hardening. The result usually surprises the household more than the prosecutor — most prosecutors already assume their address is exposed; the spouse and parents often don't know.
For NJ prosecutors, file under Daniel's Law for yourself and household members who qualify. For federal prosecutors, your office's security branch may have a partial program — coordinate with them and use the broker opt-out for the rest.
How we handle it
We work the broker side continuously across the whole household — same cadence, same coverage. Continuous broker opt-outs are what works.
