Office of the State Attorney 9th Circuit

The Ninth Circuit State Attorney’s Office is working alongside Sheriff John Mina and Sheriff Marcos Lopez on a new gun safety campaign. This month, several billboards are on display across Central Florida to highlight the importance of responsible firearm storage. Let’s work together to keep our communities safe!

Tune into 98.5 The Wire tomorrow and every Wednesday for State Attorney Bain's new radio show! Tomorrow, he's discussing sealing and expungement with Legal Aid Society and CareerSource Central Florida and how it can help someone with an arrest, get it removed or sealed from public record.

Legal professionals working in criminal law are invited to our Community Connections resource fair July 19 from 2 – 5 p.m. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about local organizations and the resources they offer, network and build a stronger community together.

Our office was excited to participate in the inaugural Southeast Prosecutor Job Fair, hosted by the Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference! The event was a fantastic opportunity to connect with aspiring prosecutors and discuss career opportunities in our office.

Thank you to the NAACP Orange County Branch for hosting State Attorney Bain as their special guest at last night’s general membership meeting. It was a great opportunity to connect with the community and share our mission of how we are creating safer communities by holding defendants accountable and upholding the law fairly and honorably.

This month, the State Attorney’s Office hosted the monthly meeting for top law enforcement chiefs in Orange and Osceola counties. In addition to discussing important topics and strengthening interagency relationships, our office got the chance to showcase a new, user-friendly method for officers to share case information with prosecutors. This improvement will allow us to streamline the flow of crucial case information so we can more efficiently and effectively build strong cases and hold offenders accountable.
