Introduction

Prosecuting Attorney offices are represented in the development of Michigan’s Criminal Record Reporting system through two bodies: the Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan (PAAM) and the Prosecuting Attorneys Coordinating Council (PACC). PACC is governed by a five-member council consisting of the Attorney General of Michigan and four Prosecuting Attorneys. The responsibilities of PACC include the development and assignment of charge codes which are used to define and specify offenses within the entire criminal reporting system which consists of prosecutors, courts and corrections. The Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan (PAAM) is a non–profit organization comprised of 83 county prosecutors, the Attorney General, and Michigan’s U.S. Attorneys. PAAM, through its officers, Board of Directors, and committees represents the Prosecuting Attorneys on such issues as computerized criminal history, automated fingerprint identification system, and in continuing dialogue with courts and police agencies.
