Sacramento County is proposing a $4.1 million reduction to the District Attorney’s Office budget
These are cuts we have been directed to implement, not ones we support. These reductions would eliminate 15 positions. Which would decimate the Misdemeanor and Community Prosecution Units.
Let us be clear: this is not the direction we would choose. These are the cases that affect our neighborhoods, our businesses, and the day-to-day safety of our community. Removing these resources will have real and immediate consequences for the people we serve.

Community Prosecution Unit (CPU)
The mission of the Community Prosecution Unit (CPU) is to provide proactive response to community concerns and increase accountability to the communities we serve.
CPU focuses on targeted criminal acts and code enforcement issues to ensure public safety and uphold quality of life in our communities. Community prosecutors address issues traditional prosecutors have not typically handled, such as problem solving for crime prevention, public safety and health matters. In partnership with law enforcement, the community and public and private organizations, our combined efforts work to identify community issues and prevent crime.
