The purpose of Operation Relentless Pursuit (ORP) is to fund state and local law enforcement task forces in an effort to reduce violent crime. The objective of ORP is to combat violent crime by building federal cases against violent actors and their organizations. As such, applicants are required to work proactively with the U.S. Attorney’s Office and other relevant federal investigative agencies to investigate and prosecute targets involved in gangs, drug trafficking and other violent crime related issues.

The Wayne County Prosecuting Attorney's Office will hire 7 attorneys to work with state, local, and federal law enforcement partners and a one-person grand juror to facilitate or advance investigations and streamline processes.
