"Compassion meets Accountability" with District Attorney Joe Peters
Meet Wyoming County District Attorney Joe Peters
Joe Peters rose from street cop to serving two presidents as a leader in the efforts to
combat drug trafficking and battle international terrorism.
As a Federal Prosecutor, Joe’s accomplishments include the convictions of Philadelphia Mob Boss “Little Nicky” Scarfo, his underboss, and 16 mob soldiers in a 3-month trial before an anonymous and sequestered jury. Conducted by Joe and four other Federal Prosecutors, this trial resulted in one of the most significant Mafia family convictions in U.S. history. As a result, Joe received the U.S. Department of Justice’s John Marshall Award. The Associated Press called Joe and his fellow prosecutors the “Modern Day Untouchables.”
Joe has presented and consulted to law enforcement officials and others in Israel, Italy, the UK, Dubai, Kuwait and Qatar and has trained military and civilian personnel in Panama.
A resident of Lake Winola, Joe has devoted his career to public service: he served for more than 15 years in the Pa. Office of Attorney General, rising from an intern to become the state’s top drug prosecutor. In the White House he served as Assistant Deputy Director for State & Local Affairs in the Drug Czar’s office.
Joe’s expertise on terrorism and related intelligence and prosecution issues has been
recognized by Fox News where he serves as a commentator as well as television
networks as far away as London and Italy which have asked for his expert on-air
commentary.
He graduated from King’s College and later the Dickinson School of
Law. He is a member of the International Assoc. of Chiefs of Police, where he served on its Terrorism Committee for 10 years.
Joe is the oldest of five children of Gene and Peg Peters and is the proud father of his son Max. His father Gene served two-terms as a GOP Mayor of Scranton. In 2004 Joe was the Republican nominee for Pennsylvania Auditor General.
