Our Mission

The Western Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office keeps the community safe by holding accountable those who commit crimes and cause harm; by providing services that protect and preserve the rights of victims and defendants; and by building and maintaining partnerships with other law enforcement agencies, community organizations, and government entities.
