The public defender’s office in Butler County is pursuing grant funding to help with their operations.
The public defender received nearly $100,000 last year through the Commission on Crime and Delinquency. They used those funds to hire a part-time assistant public defender and new software along with service from the Center for Community Resources.
Another $98,000 is available through the same grant program that would allow the public defender to hire a part-time paralegal and purchase a new colored printer.
