Mission Statement

Our mission is to protect the public by aggressively prosecuting violent crime, advocating for and supporting crime victims, and directing appropriate offenders to treatment and rehabilitation. We are committed to upholding the highest standards of ethics, efficiency, and professionalism to ensure the safety, health and well-being of the communities we serve.

 

What does a District Attorney do?

The District Attorney (DA) is your community’s chief prosecutor, the lawyer who represents the people in criminal cases.

Working closely with law enforcement, the DA reviews police reports and evidence to decide whether there’s enough to file criminal charges. If charges are filed, the DA leads the prosecution in court, presenting the case against the accused.

Throughout the process, the DA keeps victims informed of their rights and progress in the case, making sure their voices are heard in the courtroom.

The DA’s role is to seek justice by holding offenders accountable, protecting public safety, and ensuring the legal process is fair and ethical for everyone involved.
