The North Carolina General Assembly approved the 2026-2027 state budget, which was signed into law by the Governor. This budget provides $1.1 million for the Robeson County District Attorney’s Office to hire 7 new Assistant District Attorneys. These 7 new ADAs will drastically improve our capabilities in Our Office.
The Robeson County District Attorney’s Office has been the least staffed and most under-resourced prosecutor’s office in the entire State for many years. A work study completed by the State over two years ago determined that Robeson County needed 14 more ADAs to keep up with the massive volume of cases pending in the County. The budget providing these new positions for Our Office moves us closer where we need to be to adequately handle our caseload.
We are grateful for our State representatives advocating for us, the General Assembly for recognizing our needs, and the Governor for supporting these efforts to address community concerns.
