Partner with county district attorney for community-based prosecution program
In Plain English
The city will work with Contra Costa County's district attorney to bring prosecutors directly into neighborhoods. Community-based prosecution focuses on local quality-of-life issues like vandalism, drug activity, and code violations. If approved, prosecutors work with residents and police to address crime patterns in specific areas rather than only handling cases in court.
