The Ramsey County Attorney's Office protects public safety through aggressive prosecution - but that isn't all we do.
Public safety is caring for children by collecting child support, making sure kids get to school to receive an education, and helping youth who are vulnerable. Public safety is advocating for those - young and old - who have been abused. Public safety happens when we collectively care for all of the people in our community and when we work together for prevention. We strive for better victim safety and greater offender accountability in all we do.
I pledge to you that we will continue to work hard every day to fulfill our mission of serving the residents of Ramsey County by pursuing justice and public safety, protecting the vulnerable, delivering quality legal services and providing leadership to achieve positive outcomes for our community.
On behalf of everyone in the Ramsey County Attorney's Office, thank you for the opportunity to serve you and make our community safer and stronger.

East Metro Crime Prevention Coalition (EMCPC) Forms
We are proud to announce that the county attorneys and sheriffs from Ramsey, Dakota and Washington counties have joined efforts to unify educational resources, prevention strategies, and law enforcement response to the problems that plague our communities and to enter in to a dialogue and partnership with the greater community.
Call to Action: Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention Forum held on February 28, 2012
Prescription drugs have become one of the most abused controlled substances by adults and teens in our community. Recognizing this, the EMCPC asked for a dialogue about prescription drug practices, addiction, treatment, and current prevention efforts. We also discussed trends and ways in which law enforcement can take a greater role in the solution. We are truly grateful to the school staff, treatment professionals, pharmacists, medical providers, criminal justice personnel, public health officials, law enforcement, and all of the other community members that joined us for this day of learning, connecting and problem solving. As a result of those efforts, we not only strengthened our own knowledge of the issue and shared best practices in responding to this crisis in our communities, but are developing a toolkit for community members, professionals and parents to take with them in their prevention efforts.
