The people of Denver have entrusted me and everyone within the Denver District Attorney’s Office with the duty of advancing a society that holds people accountable for criminal actions and strives for justice and equity for victims and defendants of all ages, races and ethnic backgrounds. Public safety is one of the most important, if not the most important functions of government. It is an awesome responsibility and one that I take very seriously. Thank you for visiting our webpage where you will learn more about the work we do.

Because you are the heart and soul of Denver, we are all better served when you understand the work we do. To that end, I'm excited to introduce our 2023 Citizens Academy on October 14, 2023, from 8:30-4:00 at the Central Park Rec Center, 9651 M.L.K. Jr Blvd., our first one since the pandemic.

We will give you deep insight into how we prosecute cases, make charging decisions, and plan for trial. We'll show you the scope of our office, such as victim services and alternatives to prosecution. You will get to interact with other interested members of our community over lunch and snacks - on us - and, I hope, become stronger advocates for the city you want to see.  Click on this link to sign up.
