Amy Bowles of the Scott County Prosecutor’s Office was recently awarded the Falkner-Richey & Gramling Award by the Indiana Prosecuting Attorneys Council at the annual Winter Conference in Indianapolis. She was nominated for this award by Prosecuting Attorney, Chris Owens, and was the unanimous selection for the award by the Board of Directors of the Indiana Prosecuting Attorneys Council.
Annually, one person in the state of Indiana is awarded this honor which is presented to a non-attorney staff person who has displayed competency and commitment on behalf of a prosecutor’s office or the Indiana Prosecuting Attorneys Council throughout their exemplary career.
“I am extremely proud of Amy and was honored to be able to present this award to her,” said Scott County Prosecutor Chris Owens. “Amy exhibits a high level of knowledge and professionalism each day and is a valuable member of our team at the Scott County Prosecutor’s Office. All citizens of Scott County should be very proud of Amy and how she works each day to help keep our county safe.”
Bowles has worked for the prosecutor’s office for nearly three decades, beginning while she was in high school as part of the Office Lab class that was then offered at Scottsburg High School, turning that into a career upon her graduation. She is currently one of the longest tenured county employees, and has worked for three different Prosecuting Attorneys— Roger Duvall, Jason Mount, and Chris Owens— during her career.
Bowles is a lifelong resident of Scottsburg where she lives with her husband, Jason, and her two sons, Carter and Dare.
