Tennessee District Attorneys

06/05/2026

Our District Attorneys had the honor of traveling to Washington, D.C., to be sworn in before the U.S. Supreme Court. It was a special experience that reaffirmed our commitment to justice, the rule of law, and the responsibilities we carry on behalf of the people we serve.

We were also proud to represent Tennessee at the U.S. Capitol, thanks to Senator Bill Hagerty for arranging a memorable visit.

In addition, we met with Pentagon senior officials to learn about current priorities and discuss issues affecting our communities, bringing valuable information and insights back to Tennessee.

This trip was a meaningful reminder of our focus on public service, our commitment to upholding the rule of law, and our responsibility to serve the people of Tennessee with integrity and purpose.

314,000 arrests.
718,000 cases.
1,134 cases per prosecutor.

Tennessee’s justice system is being pushed to its limits, and violent crime demands more than just arrests. It demands action, resources, and strategies that work.

Today, the Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference launched Project Safe Tennessee, a statewide initiative using real data and evidence-based solutions to fight violent crime and strengthen public safety across all 32 judicial districts.

Safer communities don’t happen by chance. They happen when prosecutors have the tools to hold violent offenders accountable and protect Tennessee families.

This is what service looks like: meeting needs, lifting communities, and standing up for Tennessee families.

When children are targeted, our response must be stronger. This week, prosecutors from across Tennessee attended the first-ever Crimes Against Children training, enhancing how we support young victims and prosecute some of the most difficult cases. This training reflects our unwavering commitment to protecting our most vulnerable. Together, we are raising the standard and sending a clear message: these crimes will not go unanswered.

Taylor Greene is a survivor of domestic violence. She has found healing through a community of women and men who have experienced similar trauma. She wants people to know the value and strength that comes from sharing your story.

Annie Wortham is a survivor of r**e. Through therapy and her work in victim advocacy, Annie now helps others who have experienced trauma as the Director of Heart House. She wants people to know that those who have experienced r**e should not blame themselves for what happened to them.

Susan Tucker-Smith’s home was burglarized, and items passed down through generations of her family were stolen and never recovered. She uses this experience to guide her in her work as a victim witness coordinator in the Davidson County District Attorney’s Office. With over twenty-seven years of victim advocacy experience, Susan has advocated for thousands of crime victims in Nashville.

It's an honor to share these three women’s stories during National Crime Victims’ Rights Week in collaboration with Tennessee Voices for Victims. Go to youtube.com/ for their full videos.
