Colorado District Attorneys' Council

What Colorado District Attorneys' Council does

Colorado District Attorneys' Council (CDAC) is a statewide governmental membership organization founded in 1982 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado, that supports and represents the state's 23 elected district attorneys and their staff. CDAC centralizes prosecution-related services — including specialized training, legislative drafting and liaison, legal research, management assistance, case tracking data, and victim services coordination — across all Colorado judicial districts, reaching nearly 10,000 prosecutors, law enforcement officers, and victim advocates annually through its training programs. Core technology assets include the proprietary ACTION case management system, which provides prosecutors with a statewide database of case information, and an Electronic Discovery (eDiscovery) system that improves evidence accessibility for defendants and counsel. CDAC also operates specialized grant-funded programs, notably the Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutor (TSRP) initiative backed by NHTSA and CDOT, and the Ending Violence Against Women program funded by the U.S. Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women.

The organization generates revenue through a mix of membership dues from the 23 judicial district attorney offices, federal and state government grants (NHTSA, CDOT, DOJ OVW), tiered annual conference sponsorships (Bronze $1,000 / Silver $2,500 / Gold $5,000 plus event-level packages), publication sales (notably the Colorado Revised Statutes at $70.95 per copy), and branded merchandise. Distribution is direct and statewide via in-person training, an online training calendar, a centralized job board covering 22 DA offices, a WooCommerce-based publication storefront, and organic social channels. Technology partners — LexisNexis, Filevine, NICE Public Safety, Karpel, ISAE, and CIMA Education — co-market with CDAC on the organization's website, indicating an embedded vendor ecosystem around case management, evidence, and training infrastructure.

CDAC is not a private enterprise: it is a state-level council operating under governmental oversight, with no disclosed funding rounds, ownership changes, M&A activity, or parent company. Its near-term strategic focus centers on a planned 2026 leadership transition (Tom Raynes to Jessica Dotter as Executive Director), continued federal grant capture in traffic safety and domestic violence, and incremental commercialization of conference sponsorships and publications.
