I hope that this site will afford an additional opportunity for effective interaction between the citizens of Essex County and the officers and prosecutors who serve them.

“Protecting victims, witnesses and the vulnerable is critically important to the work we do here at the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office. We also understand that everyone charged with a crime will not be incarcerated that is why we support diversionary programs such as Mental Health, Veterans and Drug Court.”

“Our mission at the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office is to seek justice, to serve justice and to do justice. We accomplish this by examining the facts, the law and the evidence in each case. As we proudly serve the citizens of Essex County, our Assistant Prosecutors, Detectives and Support Staff are dedicated to that goal.”
