About the Warren County Prosecutor's Office
Warren County Prosecutor's Office
The office consists of 20 sworn detectives. A detective with the Warren County Prosecutor's Office is primarily responsible for investigating serious crimes, gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses and suspects, executing search and arrest warrants, making arrests, and assisting prosecutors in preparing criminal cases for court. The office's overall mission is to detect, arrest, and prosecute offenders, while also supporting local police departments with major investigations and serious crimes.
Mission Statement:
Public safety will remain at the heart of our mission. The Warren County Prosecutor’s Office has for many years implemented specialized units and task forces to enforce the law and investigate crimes. However, safety is not achieved through enforcement alone. It also requires prevention, education and building strong community relationships. The Warren County Prosecutor’s Office connects with law enforcement, community partners, and school districts to maintain a county that continues to be a safe place to live, work and visit for our citizens, children and guests alike.
