3 STATE ATTORNEY: SUMMARY MISSION STATEMENT: The State Attorney is the Chief Prosecution Officer in the Circuit pursuant to Article V, Section 17, of the Constitution of the State of Florida. The State Attorney is charged with being the Chief Prosecuting Officer of all trial courts in his respective Circuit and shall perform all other duties prescribed by general law. Chapter 27, Part 1, of the Florida Statutes, and the Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure further elaborate upon the State Attorney's duties and responsibilities. The mission of the Office of the State Attorney is to pursue vigorous and fair prosecution of criminal cases, with a commitment to serve as an advocate for the rights of all victims, and to promote the safety and well-being of the public.
