Prosecutor

The job of the Porter County Prosecuting Attorney is to see that the laws of the State of Indiana are faithfully executed and enforced. We represent the community as we prosecute violations of State laws that occur within Porter County. In promoting public safety, we are involved in many programs that work to reduce crime, protect innocent victims and enhance the quality of life in our county.

Our primary responsibility is the prosecuting of criminal violations, both adult and juvenile. In this regard, our focus is on the punishment and incapacitation of violent, repeat offenders within our community. We also spend considerable time and resources in battling domestic violence. Other major functions of our office include assisting crime victims, collecting restitution, enforcement of the criminal child support laws and promotion of numerous crime prevention programs in our community.
