Prosecuting Attorney Richelle Grosvenor
Dear Camden County Citizens
I am honored to serve as the Camden County Prosecuting Attorney to help keep the people of this great county safe.
Our office exists to enhance public safety through effective prosecution and offender accountability. Every day, we work to promote public safety and foster security in our community by holding people accountable for violating the law and pursuing justice in a fair, efficient, and ethical manner without fear or favor.
We are guided by five core values: Integrity, Courage, Teamwork, Trust and Professionalism. These aren’t just words on a wall – they guide every decision we make and every case we handle.
Many people aren’t sure what a prosecutor actually does, and that is understandable. We will use these platforms to help you understand our role, how we work with law enforcement, and how cases move through our justice system. We want you to know how your tax dollars are being used and how we are working to keep Camden County safe.
We will strive to be as transparent as the law allows and to earn your trust every day.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve Camden County.
