Making Philadelphia both safer and more just requires a different approach to our work. With more than 600 lawyers, detectives and support staff, we are the largest prosecutor’s office in Pennsylvania and the third largest in the nation. We know the safety of our city, the rights of our fellow 1.5 million citizens, and the well-being of the neighborhoods we ourselves live in are at stake. We are guided by facts, evidence, and the law as we seek justice every day. Our prosecutors are relentless in the pursuit of justice on behalf of victims of crime and the communities we serve. We are also mindful of the impacts of our decisions on individuals, families, and communities. We engage in scientific review of case outcomes to assess our performance, and seek to learn from prosecutors and law enforcement from around the country.
