County Executive Proclaims February 5th Prosecutor’s Day to Honor Local Prosecutors’ Role in Justice and Community Safety
FREDERICK, MARYLAND – February 5th was proclaimed as National Prosecutor’s Day by the National District Attorneys Association in Washington, D.C. this morning, representing a landmark celebration recognizing the indispensable contributions of prosecutors in protecting public safety, championing victims’ rights, and upholding the fundamental principles of justice. State’s Attorney Charlie Smith will join County Executive Jessica Fitzwater this Friday, February 7th, 2025 at Winchester Hall to receive her local proclamation, shining a spotlight on the critical work prosecutors perform every day to safeguard our community.
Prosecutors are far more than legal professionals—they are compassionate advocates who amplify the voices of victims, ensuring their stories are heard and justice is meaningfully pursued. Through strategic collaboration with law enforcement, community organizations, and public institutions, prosecutors work tirelessly to address the complex root causes of criminal behavior, hold offenders accountable, and foster a sense of trust and safety within their community.
“Prosecutors represent the very essence of justice in our community,” said Charlie Smith. “This proclamation is a testament to the unwavering dedication of professionals who work passionately to protect our most vulnerable citizens and maintain the integrity of our legal system.”
This official recognition and presentation of the proclamation offers a unique opportunity for community members to gain insight into the multifaceted role of prosecutors. The Frederick County State’s Attorney’s Office stands as a beacon of justice, committed to protecting victims, holding offenders accountable, and cultivating meaningful partnerships with community stakeholders. Through ethical, transparent, and compassionate prosecution, the office continues to build trust, promote healing, and create a safer, more accountable society.
