DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE

Patricia J. Hanson, Deputy District Attorney

OPERATING AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE

The Wisconsin Constitution in Article VI, Section 4, creates the office of the District Attorney. The purpose of

the Office of the District Attorney is delineated in Wisconsin Statutes Chapter 978. Section 978.05 lists the

specific duties of the District Attorney.

The District Attorney shall:

 Prosecute all criminal actions.

 Prosecute all state forfeiture actions, county traffic actions, and county ordinance violations.

 Participate in investigatory (John Doe) proceedings.

 Supervise expenditures of the office.

 Cooperate with the Department of Workforce Development in welfare fraud investigations.

 Brief and argue criminal cases brought by appeal.

 Institute, commence, or appear in civil actions prescribed by statute.

 Prosecute or defend actions transferred to another county.

 Establish other prosecutorial units throughout the county necessary to carry out the duties.

 Hire, employ, and supervise staff and make appropriate assignments.

 Prepare a biennial State budget request.

 Supervise, coordinate and implement Victim Witness services pursuant to Chapter 950.

EVALUATION OF PERFORMANCE MEASURES

Because of the unique duties of this office, no statistical or other evaluation measurements are useful in

determining our performance level. Statewide statistics continually demonstrate that this office handles more

criminal cases per attorney than almost all other state prosecution units. This office currently has seventeen (17)

full-time attorneys and two (2) half-time attorneys. During an average year this office handles approximately

1,500-1,800 felony cases, 4,500-5,500 criminal traffic and misdemeanor cases, 400-600 juvenile cases, and

variety of other cases including, but not limited to; municipal traffic cases, child in need of protection and services

cases, termination of parental rights cases, Chapter 980 commitment of sexually violent persons cases, and

extraordinary writ cases. A review of County Staff shows that our clerical staff handles more work than

comparable counties.
