About the District Attorney's Office:

The District Attorney represents the People in court as the public prosecutor, working with the Sheriff and other law enforcement agencies to keep the community safe. The District Attorney does this by suppressing criminal behavior through ethical prosecution, fostering trust in the rule of law, and supporting victims of crime. Once a law enforcement agency completes an investigation into a crime committed in Yuba County, it refers to the Yuba County District Attorney for prosecution. Yuba County District Attorney’s Office receives over 4,000 new case referrals each year from law enforcement agencies, including the Yuba County Sheriff’s Department, Marysville Police Department, Wheatland Police Department, California Highway Patrol, Department of Fish and Game, Yuba County Probation, and many others.

The ideal candidate:

• Understands that the District Attorney represents the People, not an ordinary party, and prioritizes justice over simply winning a case.
• Acts as a servant of the law, ensuring that the guilty do not escape and the innocent do not suffer.
• Maintains the highest levels of integrity, professionalism, and ethical conduct in all matters.
• Possesses a passion for justice, a love of mercy, and an attitude of humility.
