Prosecuting Attorney's Office is comprised of three separate and distinct divisions: Adult Felony Division - prosecutes adults who are charged with committing any felony in violation of a State statute, as well as juveniles who may be bound over to be prosecuted as an adult. The types of crimes prosecuted by this division include; robbery, burglary, felonious assault, domestic violence, drug offenses, forgery and fraud, white collar crimes, arson, child physical and sexual abuse, sexual assault, and homicides. Juvenile Division - prosecutes juvenile offenders who commit any form of crime in Licking County, whether felony or misdemeanor, and regardless of whether the violation is of a State statute, or municipal ordinance. In addition, the Juvenile Division represents the State in those cases where it is necessary to take some form of protective custody of children due to the inability of a parent to provide for the needs of a child, or worse, cases of neglect or abuse. Civil Division - serves as legal counsel for most County office-holders and departments, as well as the twenty-five Township governments in Licking County. In addition, the Civil Division represents some of the many school districts in Licking County. This Division must be prepared to give their clients advice on many issues such as: open meetings, public records, annexations, zoning, competitive bidding, contracts, and public employment to name a few.
