COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPWe advocate and support the building of strong and viable partnerships with law enforcement, all members of the criminal justice system and the community we serve for the purpose of achieving the highest level of public safety for our citizens. 
CAREER CRIMINALSWe vigorously prosecute violent and habitual offenders.
CRIME
PREVENTION
We are committed to crime prevention by implementing innovative programs to break the cycle of crime for youthful offenders, first-time offenders, mentally ill offenders, and drug-addicted offenders.
