Harold Pryor was sworn into the office shortly after midnight at his home, surrounded by family members. He will take part in an event Tuesday afternoon where prosecutors for the office will be formally sworn in.
Pryor takes over for Mike Satz, who had led the office for over four decades, after serving under Satz for years.

He joins Gordon Weekes, who was elected in November as the first Black person to hold the office of Public Defender in the history of Broward County.
Weekes spent over two decades in the Public Defender’s office working under the recently retired Howard Finkelstein.
Joe Scott will be sworn in Tuesday as the next Supervisor of Elections for Broward, with the Democrat taking over for Peter Anotonacci - who was appointed to the office in 2018 after repeated election problems under former supervisor Brenda Snipes.
