Meet Hamilton County's New Prosecutor

Hamilton County Prosecutor Melissa Powers announced the creation of the Elder Justice Unit. As access to and reliance on technology grows, millions of seniors are abused and targeted by scammers looking to take advantage and exploit our most vulnerable. The Elder Justice Unit will help prevent the financial exploitation and abuse of seniors in Hamilton County by providing resources to law enforcement, banks, and community members.

The Elder Justice Unit will not only prosecute crimes against the elderly, but will also represent Hamilton County Jobs and Family Services as they aim to protect seniors and aid their families in navigating the probate court process through their Adult Protective Services division. The Prosecutor’s Office has also designated a helpline (946-SCAM) for individuals to contact if they have been scammed, are receiving calls or other electronic communications and think they might be scammed or think a member of their family has been a victim. If you believe you have information or would like to report a recent scam CALL 946-SCAM.
