There are over 2,300 prosecutors offices in the United States. Data gathered about these offices include the annual office budget, tenure and salaries of chief state court prosecutors, and the full-time office staffing, including attorneys, investigators, victim advocates, and support personnel. Also collected are data on threats against staff and data on staff who carry firearms, and detailed information on the number of felony cases closed, felony jury trial verdicts, and the use of DNA evidence. Data are from the National Census of State Court Prosecutors, a complete census of all state prosecutors' offices litigating felony cases in state courts of general jurisdiction.
