If you imagine law enforcement, the courts, and social service agencies as intersecting roads, the District Attorney can be compared to the traffic director standing in the middle.  The primary role of the District Attorney is the chief law enforcement officer for 27 cities and towns, it is also imperative that we as a society invest resources into crime prevention.
Investing in prevention will not only eliminate the pain and tragedy that victims and their families suffer but will greatly reduce the monetary cost taxpayers must invest in prosecuting and incarcerating criminals.  Therefore, our Office is dedicated to implementing programs that are designed to prevent crime in our communities.
