Community Outreach

The employees of the Norfolk Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office 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 the City.  During each community outreach opportunity, we discuss the work of the Office with citizens and listen to their interests and concerns.  Simply put, we are always working toward a better understanding of the City we serve.  To request the Office’s assistance with a community outreach effort, please contact Amanda M. Howie, Director of Communications.
