Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald

From all of us at the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office, we wish you and your loved ones a safe and happy holiday season.  Our offices will be closed Wednesday and Thursday, but we will be open again on Friday.

Cable locks, often available at no charge from local police departments, are an easy and effective way to prevent firearms accidents. Let’s work together to have a happy and safe holiday season.

Prosecutor McDonald was honored to join community and law enforcement leaders in Detroit to encourage safe storage and firearm safety. With holidays approaching, you can keep your family safe by properly securing firearms.

Statement From Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald on the Minneapolis School Shooting Tragedy

Human trafficking is not a victimless crime. Traffickers prey on vulnerable victims who do not have the ability to consent. We can and will prosecute this crime in all its forms.

This afternoon Prosecutor McDonald testified before the Civil Rights, Judiciary, and Public Safety Committee of the Michigan Senate on the newly proposed gun legislation package. #GunViolencePrevention #EndGunViolence

Gun violence is a public health crisis. There is no one solution. Preventing gun violence requires a data-driven approach, which the Commission to Address Gun Violence will be publishing.

The Commission to Address Gun Violence is working toward this solution every day. More information can be found here: oakgov.com/prosecutor/Pag…

There is no one solution to gun violence or mass shootings. This will never be solved with a sound bite, a press conference, a prosecution or a protest. To stop gun violence, we need a comprehensive, evidence-based approach.
