Ebert built sound reputation, has extensive knowledge and trial experience

Opinion

I wish to take this opportunity to heartily endorse Paul B. Ebert for reelection as the Commonwealth’s Attorney of Prince William County.

Mr. Ebert has dedicated his life to his chosen profession. He has built a solid foundation by skillfully and professionally prosecuting some of the most heinous, complex and highly-publicized crimes of our times.

Paul Ebert has proven over a long and distinguished career in public service to Prince William County that he is a leader among his peers in Virginia and the U.S. During my tenure as a detective investigating violent crimes in Prince William County and as Chief of Police, I could not have asked for a more skilled and professional partner.

Paul Ebert built a sound reputation by adapting to the ever-changing world of law enforcement in the 21st century and by working with victims and advocating for the rights that all victims deserve. He continues to attract and train his diverse staff to use common sense and to apply fair and reasonable standards when making important prosecutorial decisions.

These decisions, which often have a tremendous impact on individual victims and the fabric of our community, require the high level of transparency and accessibility provided by Mr. Ebert’s office. The extensive knowledge and trial experience held by Paul Ebert cannot be overstated.

Prince William County is very fortunate to have such an effective leader in the Office of the Commonwealth’s Attorney. Paul Ebert has always been a steadfast partner to law enforcement and is a true leader in his profession. I strongly endorse his reelection as the Commonwealth’s Attorney for Prince William County.
