General Info

Every year, the District Attorney's Office reviews thousands of law enforcement reports to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to file criminal charges. Those with sufficient evidence are filed as either felony or misdemeanor cases in the Superior Court. Our prosecutors appear daily in courtrooms on these cases seeing them through to disposition. The Investigations Bureau supports our prosecutors by providing additional investigation where law enforcement lacks the resources. The District Attorney investigators also will assist local law enforcement if requested during homicide investigations and other major operations. Our victim advocates help crime victims by providing court escort, filing claims for reimbursement of costs as a result of a crime, and facilitating crisis intervention and court orders for restitution.
