Tippecanoe County Prosecuting Attorney, 23rd Judicial District
The prosecuting attorney represents the state of Indiana and prosecutes violators of state statutes in various courts with criminal jurisdiction. As a constitutional officer, a prosecutor is elected in each judicial circuit for a term of four years. The office is not strictly a county office, because the prosecutor is elected for a judicial circuit in the same manner as a judge and must be a practicing attorney. The prosecuting attorney is authorized to appoint a chief deputy and one or more investigators to help collect and assemble the evidence needed for criminal prosecutions. In any judicial circuit, the prosecuting attorney and/or deputy may receive supplemental salary from the county or counties served by the circuit. County funds are used to pay the salaries of additional deputies and investigators and the costs of clerical assistance, operating expenses and travel allowances.
