The threats to our communities are many: terrorism, gun violence, organized crime, financial fraud and the scourge of drug dealing. In an increasingly complex world, many of these crimes cross borders and span cyberspace – they target both our physical and financial security. The 68 attorneys and 69 support staff in this office work every day to enhance the safety and security of Western Washington and make it an even better place to live.
