The Office of the DeKalb County Solicitor-General prosecutes misdemeanor crimes in DeKalb County. In partnership with community members, community organizations, service providers, the faith community, and police, we identify public safety problems and promote long-term solutions.

It is the duty of this Office to seek justice, protect victims’ rights, ensure fairness and promote public safety. I am committed to serving the citizens of this county by building a better, safer DeKalb.

The DeKalb County Solicitor-General’s Office, under the direction of Donna Coleman-Stribling, prosecutes more than 13,000 misdemeanor crimes committed in DeKalb County each year. Those cases include domestic violence, elder abuse, cruelty to children, vehicular homicide, drunk driving, harassment and stalking, trespassing and animal cruelty.

Improving the quality of life for DeKalb residents is rooted in prosecuting crime and deterring crime through community prosecution − a nationally-proven method that uses a proactive, integrated, solutions-based and grassroots approach to combat quality-of-life crimes in targeted areas through partnerships among the community, police and prosecutors.
