The joy is in the job itself!

Thank you Daily Press for sharing our work and our collaboration with our neighbors.

The Colonial Recovery Court had its first docket last month at the York-Poquoson Courthouse in Yorktown, joining more than 50 similar courts across Virginia that are aimed at offering an alternative to incarceration for certain drug offenders.

A future in law begins with curiosity!

Our office enjoyed participating in Poquoson Middle School’s Career Fair, talking with students about careers in law and the role of the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office in serving victims, protecting the community and pursuing justice.

Thank you to the school’s teachers, counselors and staff for inviting us to help students imagine the possibilities ahead!

🚗 National Teen Driver Safety Week | October 18–24

Your weight, what you've eaten, medications, how much you've had to drink and even how long you've been awake can all affect your ability to drive safely.

Feeling fine doesn't always mean you're fit to drive.

As we recognize National Teen Driver Safety Week, we're looking back at our conversation with WVEC 13News Now's IMPACT during the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign.

Know your limits. Make a plan. If you drink, get a ride. Everyone deserves to get home safely.

🚗 National Teen Driver Safety Week | October 18–24

Every time a young driver gets behind the wheel, the choices they make matter.

Our office encourages parents and guardians to talk with their teens about the importance of wearing a seat belt, avoiding distractions, obeying speed limits and never driving impaired.

Safe driving habits begin early, and these conversations can save lives.

Safe choices. Brighter tomorrows. Everyone deserves to get home safely.

🚗 National Teen Driver Safety Week | October 18–24

In recognition of National Teen Driver Safety Week, we're looking back at our conversation with WVEC 13News Now's IMPACT during the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign.

Our message then remains just as important today: Safe driving is a responsibility we all share.

Motor vehicle crashes remain a leading cause of death among teenagers. Whether you're a new driver or have decades of experience behind the wheel, the decisions you make can change lives.

Our office encourages parents and guardians to talk with their teens about impaired and distracted driving, speeding and the importance of wearing a seat belt. Those conversations can save lives.

If you drink, get a ride. Put the phone down. Buckle up. Everyone deserves to get home safely.

Children do not have to be the direct targets of domestic violence to experience its consequences.

Exposure to violence in the home can affect a child's emotional well-being, sense of security and development. Protecting families means recognizing the impact domestic violence has on everyone in the household, especially those who may be too young to speak for themselves.

Every child deserves to feel safe at home.

NOT EVERY INCIDENT IS REPORTED.

Only 1 in 4 physical assaults against women by intimate partners are reported to police.

Reported incidents represent only part of the larger picture of domestic violence in our communities.
