The Prosecutor’s Office is critical to county government because the prosecutor is the legal advisor to Knox County government agencies and officeholders. Specifically, the Prosecutor’s Office represents all county agencies, county elected officials, library districts, and townships.
The Prosecutor’s civil responsibilities include the rendering of opinions and the review and approval as to form of all contracts.
Of major significance, the Knox County Prosecutor is the legal advisor to the Knox County Commissioners. We help the Commissioners negotiate with local authorities on the construction of important public improvement projects.
