Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido set new standards for excellence, innovation, and diversity; set a record for national good government awards; modernized technology; and streamlined domestic violence, juvenile, and overall case processing better than ever. Lucido reformed hiring practices and then hired a record number of women — 70% of assistant prosecuting attorney I positions are filled by women, now a majority prosecuting in court. Lucido promoted a record number of women to lead special units, building a diverse and inclusive team that reflects a significant shift from past hiring practices.
More crime victims get more service, with a 67% increase in victim support. Faster warrant turnarounds and discovery improve transparency and reduce delays.
Lucido’s efforts led to the collection of over $1.2 million in child support by targeting those owing $5,000 or more, largely without criminal prosecution, while enhancing support for specialty courts and diversion programs that deliver proven results while saving money.
