The Commonwealth's Attorney is an elected, Constitutional, law-enforcement official, independent in his duties from the County and State. His duties, responsibilities, and privileges are set out in the State Constitution, the Code of Virginia, and are supplemented by local ordinances. His main duty is the prosecution of criminal cases. In doing so, he represents the Commonwealth in the

The Commonwealth's Attorney also acts as a legal advisor on criminal issues for many state and local law enforcement agencies, such as the State Police,
