COMMUNITY PROSECUTION

In an effort to bring the State’s Attorney’s Office in closer contact with the communities and the residents that it serves, Alvarez would work to bring back the concept of community prosecution and place state’s attorney’s in community offices to work closer with citizens, parents, teachers, clergy and beat officers. Under her leadership, the State’s Attorney’s Office would pursue partnerships with county commissioners, police, churches, schools and businesses to help identify office locations.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Alvarez has great interest in this topic and if she is elected State’s Attorney she will renew the fight against domestic violence by working to improve the services that the state’s attorney’s office provides to victims. She would implement specialized training for 911 operators responding to calls of domestic violence and become a public spokeswoman about the problem of domestic violence and forge partnerships with community-based advocacy groups.

NEW FOCUS ON SEX CRIMES

Alvarez would work to reorganize the Sex Crimes Unit within the State’s Attorney’s Office to expand its functions and place an enhanced focus on internet predators and mass molestation cases. She would also increase efforts to train medical professionals in dealing with victims of sexual assault.
