Abstract

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights, increases access to justice, supports crime victims, protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) recognizes the pivotal role that prosecutors play in the safekeeping of our communities and promoting innovative best practices as a critical component of reducing victimization. Prosecutors’ offices are central to the criminal justice system. The prosecutor’s office interacts on a regular basis with a variety of allied professionals, community service agencies and organizations, and members of the public. This central, interconnected role of the prosecutor requires the office and its personnel—including prosecutors, investigators, analysts, advocates, information technology specialists, researchers, support staff, and others—to work in harmony with all of these stakeholders. These resources may assist prosecutors in their important role within the criminal justice system and within the communities they represent throughout the country.
