The
job of the Pima County Attorney is to see that the
laws of the State of Arizona are faithfully executed
and enforced. As public prosecutors, we uphold the
Constitution by serving the courts and you. We are
your advocates. We represent the legal interests
of the community as we prosecute violations of state
laws that occur within Pima County and promote public
safety. We serve as a driving force for many programs
that work to reduce crime, protect innocent victims
and enhance the quality of life in our community.
Though our primary responsibility is upholding the
criminal laws of this state, we also give legal
advice to the county, collect
bad checks, promote rehabilitation for drug
and alcohol abusers, assist crime victims, offer
numerous crime prevention programs, including an
anonymous tip hotline for reporting illegal activity
(88-Crime), and act as
the legal representatives for Pima County.
We hope you will find this site interesting and
useful. If you have any suggestions, please feel

Citizens Prosecution Academy
The highly acclaimed Citizens Prosecution Academy begins Wednesday, March 4, 2009. The Academy is a popular course offered free to the citizens of Pima County; it demystifies the criminal justice system and the workings of the County Attorney's Office. The Academy introduces citizens to the inner workings of the County Attorney’s Office, law enforcement, and the criminal justice system. The course lasts seven weeks and participants receive a certificate upon completion.
“This is an amazing opportunity for people to meet prosecutors and staff from the County Attorney's Office and get an insider’s look at what we do and how we do it,” said Barbara LaWall, Pima County Attorney.
Due to an overwhelming number of applications received by our Office, we cannot accept any more applications for the Spring 2009 Prosecution Academy. There will be another opportunity to attend the Academy in the Fall of 2009. Watch for news of the upcoming Academy to be posted at this site.
