Today is National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day.
On behalf of Prosecutor Joe Deters and the entire staff of the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office, we offer thanks to our fine police and law enforcement officers who put themselves in harm’s way to serve our communities and keep us safe.
Today, Prosecutor Joe Deters was sworn in for a new, four year term as Hamilton County Prosecuting Attorney.
Administering the oath of office was Hamilton County Probate Court Judge Ralph "Ted" Winkler and accompanying Joe on stage to hold the Bible was his daughter Elyse Deters.
Prosecutor Deters commented: “I want to sincerely thank the voters of Hamilton County for again placing their trust in me to continue serving as their county prosecutor. That trust is incredibly humbling, knowing the magnitude that this office holds for the safety and well-being of all county residents. I will continue fighting for justice and helping victims of crime and their families – just as I have for 23 years leading the Prosecutor’s Office.
I want to thank Judge Winkler for swearing me in today and also thank him for the tireless work he does to serve the citizens of Hamilton County.”
The Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office will be closed today.
On behalf of Prosecutor Joe Deters and the entire staff of the office, we wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and joyous holiday season.
“Unfortunately death and physical harm at the hands of a person close to the victim is far too common. My hope is that my office and the police will be able to work with the community in the future to help intervene in these situations and prevent further tragedy.”
