CAMDEN COUNTY, Mo. — Since January, the Camden County Prosecutors office has charged more than 260 felony crimes and successfully prosecuted felony defendants for a combined 443 years in prison, according to a press release from the Prosecutor's office issued this week.

“I’m doing what the people of Camden County elected me to do – deal with those who commit crimes, keep victims informed and do all I can to help keep our community safe,” Camden County Prosecutor Richelle Grosvenor said.

The press release stated that the office is prioritizing bond hearings so that defendants who are a danger to the community or flight risk stay in jail prior to trial. The prosecutor’s office includes five prosecutors, two investigators and support staff. In addition, the Camden County prosecutors office has two victims’ advocates tasked with keeping those touched by crime informed of the process and guiding them through the various steps undertaken by the office.

“Victim advocacy is a critical aspect of my office," Grosvenor said. “I have been a victim of a property crime and I know how difficult these situations can be. I am committed to helping and protecting victims.”

The prosecutor's office also stated in a press release that thousands of traffic and misdemeanor cases are being processed “in an ongoing effort to clear the backlog and keep current cases moving.”
