District Attorney

bulletThe Office of the District Attorney of Lebanon County plays a vital role in protecting and serving the citizens of Lebanon County.  The current District Attorney is Dave Arnold.  He and his staff of eight assistant district attorneys, five county detectives, as well as numerous support staff, are responsible for the prosecution of every criminal charge that occurs in Lebanon County.  Typically, over 2000 criminal cases are handled each year.
bulletThe District Attorney's primary function is the prosecution of all criminal acts committed within Lebanon County.  The District Attorney works in conjunction with all of the police departments within Lebanon County to provide both assistance and guidance in criminal investigations.  After an individual is arrested, the District Attorney, with the continued assistance of the police department, assumes control of the prosecution of that individual.  The District Attorney continues the prosecution until the individual is either convicted or determined to be innocent.
bulletIn addition to prosecuting adult criminal cases, the District Attorney also represents the Commonwealth's interests in various other areas, including juvenile criminal matters, Dependency Hearings, Protection from Abuse violations, and Domestic Relations Contempt Hearings.
bulletA mobile crime laboratory is available to facilitate the transportation and utilization of forensic equipment and supplies to crime scenes within Lebanon County. 
bulletTraining is offered free of charge to any municipal police officer within Lebanon County. Each officer trained and qualified to utilize the mobile crime unit is sworn in as a Special County Detective by a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Lebanon County.

bulletWhen film, fingerprint processing substances, or chemicals, are used, the cost is borne by the municipality utilizing said expendables/supplies.
bulletEach municipality agrees to pay a user fee of $100 per year in order to participate in a cooperative agreement.  The money goes toward preservation and maintenance of the mobile crime unit.
