Criminal Division
Forty-two deputy prosecutors work within the Criminal Division. During a deputy prosecutor's first year, the caseload consists primarily of traffic, DUI, domestic violence and misdemeanor cases. Attorneys in their first year of practice will do many court and jury trials.
Attorneys move to the felony, preliminary hearing, juvenile or Child Protective Act divisions, usually in their second year of practice.
There are several administrative positions within the office:
- The Criminal and Juvenile Divisions are overseen by Chief Criminal Deputy Prosecutors.
- A Screening Attorney oversees screening and filing of felony cases.
Training programs continue for all members of the office, and the Training Chief is in charge of all aspects of training.
- The Recruiting Attorney is responsible for screening and hiring new attorneys and interns.
- The Magistrate Division Supervising Attorney manages case flow and policies governing traffic and misdemeanor cases.
- The Sexual Assault Unit Supervising Attorney sets forth guidelines for the filing, investigating and prosecuting of sexual abuse cases as well as overseeing all such cases filed.
- The Drug Task Force Unit Supervising Attorney is responsible for interfacing County and State investigations with Federal investigations, coordinating and supervising wiretaps and working through cross designation with the United States Attorney’s Office. The Supervising Attorney handles the interface between the drug court and the criminal justice system.
Classes, written materials and video programs enhance the training program within the entire office. The Idaho Prosecuting Attorneys Association (IPAA) sponsors two continuing legal education seminars a year. http://www.ipaa.cc All deputies are eligible to attend workshops at the National Advocacy Center in Columbia, South Carolina. In addition, annual grants are available for attendance at numerous National College of District Attorneys seminars and such attendance is actively encouraged
