Prosecutors in the Office of the Norfolk Commonwealth’s Attorney actively cultivate strong relationships with Norfolk’s citizens by attending meetings of civic leagues, taking part in programs at schools, and contributing in various other ways to similar groups in Norfolk. During each community outreach opportunity, the prosecutors discuss their work with citizens and listen to citizens’ interests and concerns. Simply put, the Office’s prosecutors are always working toward a better understanding of the issues affecting the City.
If you would like for a prosecutor to attend a meeting of your group and/or give a presentation to the group, please contact Amanda Howie, Director of Communications, via phone at (757) 664-4861 or via email at amanda.howie@norfolk.gov.
