ABOUT NAVAJO COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE

The Navajo County Attorney’s Office provides many services to the citizens of Navajo County. Prosecuting crime is our primary function along with providing legal advice to the county’s elected officials and departments. However, we also provide a variety of other services to citizens, such as assistance with adoptions, bad check recovery, child support collection, and services to victims and witnesses. We serve all of Navajo County, including our citizens living on the Navajo Nation, the Hopi reservation and the White Mountain Apache reservation. While most crimes on tribal lands fall under federal or tribal jurisdiction, several cases each year (especially those involving the transportation of drugs) are prosecuted by the Navajo County Attorney’s Office. The Navajo County Attorney’s Office also assists with negotiating intergovernmental agreements between the county, state, cities and towns, tribal authorities and federal agencies such as the Bureau of Indian Affairs. These agreements foster close working partnerships among the participants and often benefit tribal lands by providing for the creation and maintenance of roads, ensuring a coordinated approach to critical activities such as homeland security and public health, and enhancing law enforcement and emergency preparedness. We are proud of our part in fostering closer relationships with the tribal governments and providing comprehensive services to all the citizens of Navajo County.

You have questions. Let's talk about them!

Domestic violence can be complicated, and sometimes the questions we have are the ones we're most hesitant to ask.

Why is it so difficult for someone to leave an abusive relationship?
How can you help a friend or family member who may be experiencing abuse?
What resources are available in Navajo County?
What happens when someone reaches out for help?

These are the kinds of conversations we want to encourage at our Domestic Violence Awareness Community Event!

We're inviting our community to submit questions for our DV panel discussion on Friday, October 16.

💬 Leave a general question in the comments.
📩 Send us a private message.
💜 Or submit a question anonymously through our question form: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/N9JG378

Our goal is to create an informative, respectful conversation that helps our community better understand domestic violence and how to support those affected by it.

DV Awareness Event: Friday, October 16 | 2–8 PM
Speakers & Panel: 4 PM

Not all red flags leave bruises.

When people think of domestic violence, physical abuse is often the first thing that comes to mind. But abuse can take many forms, and some are much harder to recognize.

Constantly checking someone's location
Controlling their money or access to resources
Isolating them from friends and family
Using threats, humiliation, or intimidation
Making someone feel afraid to disagree or say no

These are just a few behaviors can can be part of a larger pattern of power and control.

Recognizing the signs matters, whether you're experiencing them yourself or noticing them in someone you care about.

Want to learn more? Come join the conversation!

We're bringing our community together this Friday for our Domestic Violence Awareness Community Event. Come connect with local resources, hear from speakers, ask questions, and learn how we can better support survivors.

St. Joseph's Gym | Winslow, AZ

Because understanding abuse is one step toward preventing it.

Together, we can build a safer tomorrow.

10/12/2026

A safer tomorrow starts with us.

A safer tomorrow isn't built through one action. It's built through the everyday choices we make to support one another.

It's protecting children and teaching them what healthy relationships look like. It's creating safe spaces, connecting survivors with resources, and meeting people where they are—without judgment.

It's recognizing that everyone has a role to play in preventing domestic violence.

💜 Listen without judgment.
💜 Believe and support survivors.
💜 Share resources and speak up against abuse.

During Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we're reminding our community that creating lasting change takes all of us.

Together, we can build a safer tomorrow.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, help is available.

We’re scaring away domestic violence!

For a APAAC contest, our office got into the spooky spirit while showing our purple for Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Domestic violence is a serious issue, but raising awareness doesn’t always have to look the same. Sometimes a little creativity can help start an important conversation, show support for survivors, and remind our community that we all have a role in building safer futures.

Join us and Show Your Purple this October! Wear purple, decorate your office, display a purple ribbon or light, and share a photo with us.

Together, we can raise awareness, support survivors, and help scare away DV.

What is a Brady violation and how does it affect a criminal case?

Prosecutors have a constitutional obligation to disclose material evidence that is favorable to the defense. When evidence covered by that obligation is suppressed, it can raise serious due process concerns and, depending on the circumstances, may affect the outcome of a case.

But what actually qualifies as a Brady violation? And does one automatically mean a case is dismissed?

In this episode of Justice Explained, we break down what Brady means, how these issues are reviewed, and what can happen when a violation affects a case.

Understanding the terminology helps us better understand the safeguards built into the criminal justice process.

You may have heard terms like "Brady Evidence" or "Brady Violation in court or when discussing the criminal justice system. But what do they actually mean?

The Brady Rule comes from the 1963 U.S. Supreme Court case Brady v. Maryland and addresses a prosecutor's constitutional obligation to disclose favorable material evidence to the defense.

Understanding terms like material, exculpatory, and impeachment evidence can make the topic of disclosure easier to understand.
