As prosecutors, the work we do in the State Attorney's Office of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida is both challenging and exciting. We have the responsibility of bringing to justice those criminals who victimize the citizens of Miami-Dade County. Teams of attorneys work a wide range of criminal cases with the goal of removing dangerous individuals from our streets. As the legal arm of the law enforcement community, our mission is to see that the guilty are convicted while due process is observed to ensure that the innocent are protected.
Crime prevention is also an important part of our duty.
An effective prosecution office must also be prepared to work to protect the people's security by devising ways to prevent crime. Creative prosecutorial programs, such as these, save the taxpayers money by diminishing the need for expensive criminal justice resources, save likely crime victims the pain of potential victimization and turn lives around while the window of opportunity remains open. An effective prosecutor's office demands the fullest use of all the legal skills of its attorneys, the people skills of all of its support staff, a deep commitment to the people the office serves all guided by an over-riding sense of justice. I believe the State Attorney's Office of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida works to meet these needs every day. I welcome you to explore this site and learn more about this office and how we carry out our mission to enforce the criminal laws of this state in order to make our community a safe place to live and raise families.
