Division Chief Bradford County

The Bradford County office prosecutes all crimes occurring in the county and in the cities of Starke, Lawtey, Hampton, Brooker and Graham. This includes all felony, misdemeanor, traffic and juvenile cases. The office is also able to call upon the other prosecution services teams when needed to provide additional prosecution/investigative support in a specific area.
An investigator is assigned to the Bradford County Office with the primary responsibilities of providing assistance to the attorneys prior to and during trials and grand juries, investigating public corruption complaints and assisting local law enforcement agencies. A second investigator is in charge of the Special Investigations Unit (SIU), located in Starke. SIU is responsible for mid-level drug interdiction in Bradford, Levy and Baker Counties. SIU works closely with a specially assigned prosecutor located in the Starke office.
A victim advocate is also assigned to the office with the responsibility of assisting victims/witnesses through the criminal justice system. This includes locating state and local resources, assisting other agencies and providing education to local agencies in the area of victim/witness rights.
