Caddo Parish District Attorney's Office.

What Caddo Parish District Attorney's Office. does

The Caddo Parish District Attorney's Office is a Louisiana government prosecution entity serving as the chief prosecutor for the 1st Judicial District Court in Caddo Parish, a jurisdiction of approximately 224,893 residents centered in Shreveport. The office operates through nine core divisions — Criminal, Juvenile, Appellate, Traffic, Hot Check, Human Trafficking, Financial (White Collar), Victim Assistance, and Child Support — plus the Domestic Violence/Stalking and Sex Crimes specialized units. It is led by District Attorney James E. Stewart Sr., elected in November 2015, and employs 51-100 staff organized into five criminal court sections with corresponding section chiefs. The office reports leading per-capita jury trial productivity in Louisiana with a 92% conviction rate at trial and an average 245-day case disposition time.

The office runs four diversion programs (Pretrial Diversion, Traffic Pretrial Diversion, EXIT STRATEGY for sex industry diversion, and Juvenile Diversion), generates modest fee revenue from program participation ($40-$50 for juvenile programs, $110 plus $213 for traffic diversion, $25 child support fee), and operates community outreach including the annual Caddo DA Leadership Academy for high school students. Funding comes primarily through parish and state government appropriations rather than commercial revenue; the office holds no proprietary technology products and operates with a standard OnBase case search portal. Strategic partnerships span Volunteers for Youth Justice, Caddo Schools, Project Celebration, The HUB: Urban Ministries, and the FREE Coalition for human trafficking prevention.

Distribution and service delivery occur exclusively through seven physical office locations in Shreveport, the parish courthouse, online portals, and direct court proceedings. As a constitutionally chartered prosecution monopoly within its single-parish jurisdiction, the office cannot expand geographically or pursue commercial funding, making its growth trajectory structurally bounded by parish budget cycles and political administration changes.
