Elder Abuse, with a Quick Note on the New High Priority Offenders Program

Prosecutor Mark Lindquist was appointed in 2009 by a bipartisan and unanimous vote of the County Council.  He was elected in 2010 and re-elected in 2014 with 96% of the vote.

Mark is committed to making our community safer with vigorous and innovative initiatives such as the High Priority Offender Program and the Elder Abuse Unit, which he will be discussing today.  There will also be time for questions and answers.

Mark has been with the Prosecutor’s Office for more than 20 years and has tried numerous cases including the Tacoma Mall shooter.

Mark serves on the Tacoma Community College Foundation Board, belongs to Rotary 8, and is a nationally acclaimed author. He lives in Tacoma with his wife Chelsea and their daughter.
