Organization of the District Attorney's OfficeThe Office of the District Attorney is comprised of 140 prosecutors, investigators, and administrative staff. In a typical year we receive approximately 15,000 criminal complaints. Our office is organized for vertical prosecution, which means that the prosecutor assigned to a case will prosecute that case from beginning (an indictment or bill of information) to end (conviction and sentencing).
