CRIMINAL DIVISION AND ITS SERVICES
A pre-indictment event is scheduled for all indictable complaints referred from sixteen municipal courts. If the case is not disposed of at "PIC," it is referred to the grand jury. If a true bill is returned, the case is assigned to a trial court. The case remains with that court until adjudication or it is rotated to another court.
Presently the Criminal Division Manager is Marie L. Faber and the Assistant Criminal Division Manager is Kathryn A. Pierce. The office of approximately ninety-seven employees act as support staff to the courts. Each court has a support "team" in the Criminal Division Manager's Office.
