Prevail’s Spring 2022 Hero, D. Lee Buckingham II

As the Hamilton County Prosecuting Attorney, Lee assisted and advocated for the implementation of an evidence-based lethality assessment program that now all Hamilton County Law Enforcement agencies use in responding to domestic violence. He heads the Sexual Assault Response Team. In 2020, he identified the need and supported the creation of Hamilton County’s Domestic Violence Task Force (DVTF). He has consistently brought trauma-informed care training to his prosecutors and the DVTF. In 2021, he hired a full-time Victim Assistance Specialist on their team. These actions have improved outcomes for first responders and those working in the criminal justice system to better understand the effects of domestic violence and intimate partner homicide, enhanced collaboration across multiple agencies working to increase safety, and increased support for victim advocacy services.
