The Prosecuting Attorney represents the State of Ohio by inquiring into
and prosecuting felony crimes committed by adults and all offenses
committed by juveniles. This division is most commonly associated with a
Prosecutor's Office and utilizes a team of attorneys who work hard to
uphold the law and protect the citizens of Erie County and seek
punishment for offenders of crimes.
In 2004, there were 549 persons indicted for crimes by the Erie County
Grand Jury, which set a record. Perspectively, in 1989, the first year
Kevin J. Baxter served as Prosecuting Attorney, there were only 222
cases indicted. A substantial number of these cases in 2004 were
generated by the Erie County Drug Task Force, an organization operated
under the direction of the Prosecuting Attorney's Office.
Another important component of the Erie County Prosecuting Attorney's
office is the victim/witness division. Last year this program served
more than 1,659 victims of crime whose cases appeared in six different
courts in Erie County.
