The Wyoming County Prosecutor's Office's primary goal is to protect the health and property of the citizens of Wyoming County. The Prosecutor's Office works closely with the law enforcement community as an investigative resource and as a legal resource when there is a question regarding interpretation of the law. In addition, the office serves to represent the community when seeking to hold those persons accountable that choose to offend the community. The office is not available to offer legal advice to the citizens nor serve as the legal counsel for individials, except in very rare events. We recommend that persons seeking legal advice first seek the counsel of an attorney. ​​Other duties and responsibilities of the Prosecuting Attorney include:

• ​​The prosecution of all crimes, both misdemeanors and felonies, within the county
