首页 MenuRole of the 地方检察官
The 地方检察官 is the public prosecutor for the county, required to attend county courts and prosecute criminal offenses, 包括轻罪, gross misdemeanors and felonies. The attorneys of the criminal division appear routinely in cases at the 卡森城 Municipal 法院, 公正的法庭, 少年法庭, First Judicial District 法院, Nevada Court of 上诉 and the Nevada Supreme Court.
Since 卡森城 has a combined city-county form of government known as a "consolidated municipality," the DA's Office Criminal Division attorneys handle cases which in the other 16 Nevada counties are the responsibility of "city" prosecutors (misdemeanors in municipal courts) and we act also upon all county cases (misdemeanors in the Justice Court and gross misdemeanors and felonies in the District Court.)
The prosecutor's "client" is the people of 卡森城. The 地方检察官 prosecutors are ethically obliged to enforce the Constitutions and laws of the State of Nevada and the United States as well as ensure that substantial justice is served in criminal cases.
The 地方检察官 prosecutes all crimes occurring within the geographical borders of the county, from minor misdemeanor offenses to major felonies. The duties encompass reviewing law enforcement investigative reports, 准备搜索, seizure and arrest warrants, extraditing defendants to and from other jurisdictions, prosecuting crimes under the 卡森城 Municipal Code and Nevada Revised Statutes, and representing the State in post-conviction and appellate criminal proceedings.
