Our Purpose
Mission & Values
The Denver District Attorney's Office exists to prosecute those who violate Colorado's criminal laws within the City and County of Denver, to protect the rights and interests of crime victims, and to seek fair and equal justice for all people regardless of background, income, or circumstance.
We believe a just community is one where the law is applied fairly, victims are heard and supported, and every person who interacts with the criminal justice system is treated with dignity and respect. Our commitment to transparency and data-driven decision making ensures the public can hold us accountable for the outcomes we achieve on their behalf.
Equal Justice
We pursue justice without regard to race, ethnicity, income, or any other factor. Every case is decided on its facts and the law.
Victim-Centered
Victims and witnesses are at the heart of everything we do. We ensure they are informed, supported, and treated with compassion throughout the process.
Transparency
We publish prosecution data and outcomes so the Denver community can see exactly how we are doing our jobs on their behalf.
How We're Organized
Office Divisions
The Denver DA's Office is organized into specialized divisions, each focused on a distinct area of criminal law and victim services. This structure allows our prosecutors to develop deep expertise and deliver the best possible outcomes for Denver residents.
