Police Prosecutor Announces Bid for County Attorney

Salem Police Prosecutor Jason Grosky announced Tuesday morning that he will run for Rockingham County Attorney.

Grosky, 37, is a Republican from Atkinson. He is in his fifth year as prosecuting attorney for the Salem Police. In that role, he oversees the prosecution of all Salem Police charges brought before Salem District Court. His office prosecuted more than 2,300 cases last year.

"I'm a prosecutor, not a politician," Grosky said. "As county attorney, I will be a prosecutor first and foremost, working with law enforcement and arguing cases before judges and juries, fighting for justice in the courtroom."

In addition to his position with the Salem Police, Grosky has served as president of the Greater Salem Bar Association since 2012, represents the Town of Atkinson on the Timberlane Regional School District Budget Committee and is a member of the Greater Salem Rotary Club. He also serves on the board of directors for Timberlane Junior Football and coaches seventh grade Timberlane Tornadoes youth football.

Grosky started his legal career as an assistant district attorney in Lynn, MA. Before that, he worked for nearly a decade as a reporter for The Eagle-Tribune.
