Greensburg, PA -- The Office of Westmoreland County District Attorney Nicole W. Ziccarelli was incredibly proud to host a legislative luncheon on Wednesday, April 5, 2023. 

Nearly every district of Westmoreland County attended, including Senate President Pro Tempore Kim Ward, Senate Majority Leader Joe Pittman, Representative Eric Nelson, Representative Eric Davanzo, Representative Leslie Rossi, Representative Jill Cooper, Representative Abby Major, Representative and Chairman of the House Republican Caucus George Dunbar, in addition to representatives from Congressman Guy Reschenthaler’s office and Senator Pat Stefano’s office. County officials were also in attendance to include Commissioners Doug Chew and Gina Cerilli Thrasher and Chairman Sean Kertes’ Chief of Staff.

District Attorney Ziccarelli took the opportunity to show our local legislators the blueprint of the office and crafted a presentation to describe the prosecutorial and investigative functions of the district attorney’s office.

DA Ziccarelli also highlighted the successes of the last year – from convictions to drug task force arrests – and grants and initiatives being pursued by this office.

Since taking office in 2022, the district attorney’s office has been awarded substantial grants to secure resources and equipment for law enforcement and public safety needs.

A tabletop discussion followed with invaluable insight and investigative knowledge from our school safety Detective Jenna Derco and drug interdiction Detective Tony Marcocci.

DA Ziccarelli is so humbled by the positive response and representation from the legislators proudly serving Westmoreland County and its constituents. She is looking forward to continued cooperation and shared initiatives with our local lawmakers in the future.
