District and Municipal Court Division

The District and Municipal Court Division, headed by Chief Deputy Prosecutor Claire Bradley, handles pre-charging work, charging and disposition for all cases identified at the outset as misdemeanors or gross misdemeanors. Claire and her staff cover the County District Courts located in Port Orchard and Poulsbo, and the Municipal Courts of the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Poulsbo, and Port Orchard. Partnerships with Port Orchard, Poulsbo and Bainbridge Island enable the County to prosecute all cases filed in their Municipal Courts. This allows us to develop a better picture of the criminal activity in Kitsap County. This is a credit to the cooperative working relationship established between Kitsap County and its cities.
