His Neighborhood State Attorney’s Initiative, a community-based prosecution unit, is on the frontline of futuristic prosecution models. In May 2006, U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales presented Wolfinger an award for his office being recognized as the Outstanding Local Prosecutor's Office in the country. The Award was given for State Attorney Wolfinger's work on gun crime violence prevention and prosecution under President George Bush's Project Safe Neighborhood initiative.

He's "outstanding local prosecutor", all right.
