Local Prosecutors (Neighborhood Prosecutor Program)

The LA City Attorney, Rockard (Rocky) Delgadillo, has come up with an exciting plan.

He's placed some of his staff out in the neighborhoods, hoping their local presence will succeed in a closer partnership with the communities.

The Neighborhood Prosecutor Program consists of 18 local prosecutors, one for each LAPD Divisions. In addition, nine paralegals and nine legal secretaries will provide support services.

Staff members are located in assigned geographic areas, many of them in LAPD stations. Others are located close by in City Attorney Branch offices, Constituent Service Centers or other neighborhood facilities.

The goal of the Neighborhood Prosecutor Program is to improve the quality of life in the many diverse communities of Los Angeles by offering a proactive approach to resolving problems. The local prosecutor will establish working partnerships with law enforcement and the community.

The program is designed to prioritize and address quality of life crimes involving social disorder and physical decay, ranging from loitering, trespassing, urinating in public, loud noise, acts of vandalism, street prostitution, and drug activity, to illegal dumping, graffiti, code violations and visual blight.

The duties of the Neighborhood Prosecutors may include the following:

	Vertical prosecution of quality of life crimes prioritized by the community and law enforcement
	Working directly with the community, the City Council, and law enforcement to focus resources on problem offenders and problem offenders
	Active participation in community meetings, to identify and prioritize neighborhood problems
	Operating as a prosecutorial liaison between the community and the Criminal Branch of the City Attorney's Office
	Serving as a prosecutorial resource to police officers
	Operating as a liaison between the community, law enforcement and other city agencies to coordinate non-prosecutorial responses to identified criminal problems
	Developing and implementing creative strategies and responses to deter crime

We congratulate and thank City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo for instituting the Neighborhood Prosecutor Program, and believe the local prosecutors may well have a big impact on improving the quality of life!
