Yolo County District Attorney

What Yolo County District Attorney does

The Yolo County District Attorney is the elected prosecutorial agency for Yolo County, California, operating from its headquarters at 301 Second Street, Woodland. The office employs approximately 120 staff and volunteers and handles roughly 10,000 criminal cases annually, spanning misdemeanor, felony, juvenile, and civil matters, as well as traffic-related prosecutions. Its mandate extends beyond traditional prosecution to include victim advocacy (Victim Services, Cameron's Place Children's Advocacy Center, U-Visa, Elder Protection, Mass Casualty Program), consumer fraud and environmental enforcement, and specialized units covering human trafficking, domestic violence, high-tech crimes, and cold-case investigation.

The office's underlying technology stack centers on the LawSuite case management system, a paperless prosecution platform implemented in 2011 with support from SyTech Solutions, Hewlett Packard, and Yolo County IT. Its most differentiated technology capability is the Race Blind Charging algorithm, developed with Stanford Computational Policy Lab and integrated directly into LawSuite, which automatically redacts race-related information from case narratives to mitigate charging bias — the first such integration by any U.S. prosecutor. The office also co-publishes the Commons Data Transparency Portal with nonprofit Measures for Justice, providing public access to criminal justice data. A High-Tech Crimes Unit handles digital forensics across cases ranging from homicide to narcotics.

The Yolo County DA is publicly funded through county and state budgets; it does not generate commercial revenue. Its service model is community-led, with programs delivered through direct government service augmented by collaborative partnerships — including restorative justice diversion (Restorative Justice Partnership, Mental Health Court, Addiction Intervention Court, Hope Yolo, Harm Reduction Diversion), conviction and sentence review (with nonprofit For the People), and large-scale conviction expungement (728 marijuana convictions cleared with Code for America). Engagement is conducted through yoloda.org, social media, press releases, and structured community programs such as Citizens Academy and the Multi-Cultural Community Council.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Sacramento County District Attorney: Neighboring California county DA office with overlapping prosecutorial jurisdiction, similar case-mix, and shared Northern California public-safety dynamics. Highly comparable as a same-region, same-tier government prosecutor with analogous specialty units and diversion programs.
• Santa Clara County District Attorney: California county DA office with overlapping programmatic emphasis on diversion, behavioral-health courts, and consumer/environmental protection. Comparable mid-sized government prosecutor with similar program portfolio.
• Cook County State's Attorney: Large urban county prosecutor that has been an active testbed for progressive prosecution, conviction review, and data-transparency initiatives. Comparable in function and reform posture, with materially larger scale.
• San Francisco District Attorney: California county-level prosecutor that has similarly piloted progressive reform, data transparency, and diversion initiatives. Closely comparable in mission emphasis and program design despite operating in a larger urban jurisdiction.
• San Diego County District Attorney: California county DA office with comparable size, full suite of specialty units (cold case, trafficking, consumer protection), and traditional prosecution portfolio. Strong functional peer at similar scale.
• Alameda County District Attorney: Bay Area / Northern California county prosecutor with comparable scale and a similar mix of traditional prosecution, diversion, and reform-oriented programs. Direct comparable on structure, headcount tier, and program scope.

Others

• Code for America: Civic-tech nonprofit whose Clear My Record technology powered Yolo's marijuana-conviction expungement of 728 records. Adjacent enabler—comparable because it delivers the technical infrastructure underlying one of Yolo's signature reform outcomes.
• Measures for Justice: National nonprofit that co-developed and hosts the Commons data-transparency portal with Yolo County. Adjacent ecosystem enabler rather than a competitor—comparable because it builds the technology backbone Yolo depends on for its transparency narrative.

Broad incumbents

• Los Angeles County District Attorney: The largest county prosecutor in California, with broad overlapping mandate covering everything Yolo handles plus much more (gang units, major crimes, environmental enforcement). Comparable in core function but operates at materially greater scale and budget.
• California Attorney General: State-level prosecutor that handles environmental enforcement, consumer protection, and major crimes in California, partially overlapping with Yolo's Consumer Fraud & Environmental Protection Division. Wider mandate but a clear incumbent for the same prosecutorial functions at scale.
