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.
