A Kootenai County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney handles the prosecution of either felony, misdemeanor, or juvenile cases, from charging through trial and sentencing. Our office is highly respected in the community for our aggressive approach to crime, backed by strong law enforcement support that has not been rendered ineffective by legislation.
