Welcome
On behalf of the Ohio Prosecuting Attorneys Association let me welcome you to our web page. It is my hope the information contained within will help you better understand the role of Ohio’s county prosecutors. An Ohio county prosecutor has a variety of roles and responsibilities other than as the chief criminal prosecutor within each county. As legal counsel to a variety of County elected officials, offices and agencies your county prosecutor assists in ensuring efficient and responsible county government.
A Prosecutor’s primary role is to assist in promoting the safety and protection of individuals, families and our communities. Administering justice for victims of crime and the citizens of our State is one responsibility in carrying out this role. The position of county prosecutor also encompasses the obligation that all parties to the prosecution receive a fair trial based upon the laws and procedures in place at that time.
Please take your time and look around. Hopefully you will find information here that is educational, informative and relevant about your county prosecutor.
Regards,
Edwin A. Pierce
