Robert Tracci, Albemarle Commonwealth's Attorney

Integrity - Judgment - Fairness

The Virginia Constitution provides Commonwealth’s Attorneys broad authority to prosecute criminal cases. As elected constitutional officers, Commonwealth’s Attorneys occupy a unique position of public trust directly accountable to the people they serve.

The Albemarle County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office is dedicated to pursuing justice and protecting the rights and safety of the citizens of Albemarle and its visitors.

As part of that mission, we work to enhance public safety and welfare through the vigorous enforcement of criminal laws in a fair, compassionate, ethical and just manner. We believe that in order to accomplish this mission the office should maintain a pro-active role in our community by working to prevent crime in addition to its mandate to prosecute with integrity, equality and excellence. It is in this way that we best serve the safety of our community and uphold our oath to protect and defend the Constitution of Virginia and the Constitution of the United States.
