Individuals desirous of having charges filed, or “pressing charges” against some person or entity must go through law enforcement first. If the alleged action occurred within the city, contact the Gillette Police Department. If the alleged action occurred outside the city but within the county, contact the Campbell County Sheriff’s Department. Law enforcement will conduct an investigation into the matter and if further action is required, the information will be forwarded to the County Attorney’s Office for review and consideration of charges.
