The Attorney General is the chief law enforcement official of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The current Attorney General is Kathleen Kane. The Attorney General prosecutes criminal offenses in multi-jurisdictions and enforces regulations relating to consumer protection issues (via the Bureau of Consumer Protection). The Attorney General also represents the Commonwealth against all law suits.
The Attorney General also has numerous safety programs, including online/internet protection for children. They also administer the registration of the contractors who do home improvement. They will also pursue people who, for example, lie to their Montgomery County Worker's Compensation Lawyer and fraudulently pursue a worker's comp claim.
I have had cases in Bucks County involving the Attorney General's office and crimes that either occurred in Bucks County or were consolidated in Bucks County. Some insurance fraud cases and a drug case that involved multi-jurisdictions and an alleged conspiracy of a drug operation. Typically, these cases involved investigations by State Troopers and can be lengthy. The cases can also be older as the Attorney General's office can normally be investigated over a period of years.
