San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office

What San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office does

The San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office is a public-sector law enforcement agency founded in 1853 and headquartered in San Bernardino, California. It serves as the exclusive prosecutorial authority for criminal violations within San Bernardino County, operating under the elected District Attorney (currently Jason Anderson, the 36th DA, in office since December 2018). The office is organized into specialized units including Major Crimes, Family Violence, Gang, Consumer and Environmental Protection, and a Specialized DUI Prosecution Team, supported by 220 Deputy District Attorneys, 62 Investigators, 44 Victim Advocates, and 243 Support Staff — over 500 professionals in total. Its service offerings extend beyond prosecution to include victim advocacy, use-of-force reviews for officer-involved shootings, and consumer/environmental enforcement.

The office's core technology asset is the Digital Victim Advocate Program, launched in August 2020 as the first online victim-advocate chat service in California, accessible via the office website and Facebook page. Additional service modules include Courts & Cases information, Victim Services resources, and the ACTNOW fentanyl awareness campaign launched in November 2022. The office's revenue model is structured as a government agency: it is funded primarily through San Bernardino County general-fund appropriations, supplemented by state grants (notably recurring California Office of Traffic Safety DUI prosecution grants, including $553,000 in November 2021 and $296,000 in October 2020) and civil enforcement cost recovery (e.g., $1,030,000 from the April 2024 XPO environmental settlement). All services are delivered at no cost to crime victims and the public; there is no commercial pricing. Distribution is direct through the county headquarters, branch offices, courts, and partner law enforcement agencies including the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department and county Fire Protection District.
