ABOUT THE AG        
What does the Attorney General do?

The Attorney General is in charge of the Department of Justice. Some people call the Attorney General the state's "Top Cop." I work hard to make sure that you have safe schools and neighborhoods. I also have many investigators working for me. They are my eyes and ears so I know what needs to be done to help protect people or catch criminals.

As the Attorney General, I also have a lot of lawyers who work for me. They go to court to protect the environment against pollution or help convict people who commit crimes. The Department of Justice's lawyers also answer legal questions that other state officials might have. We work with other state agencies to make Wisconsin a clean and safe place to live.
