District Attorney

Kari Hathorn and her Deputies' top priority is to bring justice to crime victims and ensure a safe community for Crook County.  Our goal is to keep Crook County safe and secure by effectively working with the entire law enforcement community. We will act ethically, deliberately, and in the communities best interest as we seek justice.

The District Attorney's Office is responsible for the prosecution of crimes, violations and juvenile delinquency acts, as well as the enforcement of child support orders and involvement in juvenile dependency actions. They advise police and probation officers, coordinate grand jury proceedings, represent the state in jury trials and are responsible for investigations of unattended deaths. They also work closely with police, probation and parole officers, the juvenile department, and other agencies and groups in the community.

The Victims Advocacy Program assists crime victims in a variety of ways including restraining orders, emergency services, crisis response and case tracking. The District Attorney's Office is located on the second and third floors of the Court House. For more information call (541) 447-4158.
