Additional roles in that office including serving in the Special Victims Division, investigating and prosecuting offenders charged with offenses against children; as Mental Health Liaison, participating in yearly commitment hearings of individuals found not guilty by reason of insanity for various crimes and also determining placement or treatment for individuals prosecuted for crimes who were found not fit to stand trial; and with the Narcotics Division, prosecuting individuals involved in illegal drug sales.
