District Attorney’s MessageWorking Together“We have worked onmaking sure there wouldbe uniformity in thehandling of criminalmatters at our local branchoffices, assuring that nomatter where you are inSan Diego, you are treatedequally and fairly.”Our office has made it a top priority to reduce crime in the communities of SanDiego County. I am proud to say we’ve been able to accomplish this throughoutthe past year in many innovative ways.For the third consecutive year, our Community Advisory Board, with its diverse civicand neighborhood leaders, has provided insightful and sound advice to me and my administrationon a variety of issues.We have not only discussed controversial topics such as police officer involved shootings,hate crimes and drugs and gang violence, but this group also guided us toward communitysolutions.This has given our office a better understanding of proactive steps to take to help residentsreclaim their neighborhoods.
We know community outreach,partnerships and crime preventiongo hand in handfor Public SafetyOur Ministers’ Advisory Board continuesto play an integral part in crimeprevention. Although most of their workremains in the planning stages, its importancecannot be underestimated. Thisboard is a critical component of SenateBill 618, the Re-entry Program, whichwill offer “wrap around” services to paroleesbefore they are released from prisonso there are fewer crimes andfewer victims.San Diego has been chosen as a pilot siteto prove that reduction in recidivism ispossible through this all encompassingprogram. The project allows faith-basedorganizations, such as our Ministers’Advisory Board, to begin facilitating thisprogram inside Donovan State Prison.For the past year this board has workedtirelessly with many other state and localagencies to achieve this goal. Their collaborationis essential and remains key tothe success of this pilot project.This past year our office, local law enforcementand the Tribal Nations of SanDiego County achieved a new level ofcooperation and partnerships. We realizethe need to keep current on crime enforcementand prevention issues that areof concern to the tribal neighbors.Our office and the Sheriff’s Departmentcontinue to meet on a regular basis withthe tribal leaders. These meetings are extremelyhelpful as law enforcement workswith each sovereign nation.We also used this same model within eachcity throughout the county. We continueto hold meetings with local mayors andcity attorneys to discuss their city’s respectivecrime patterns and trends and wayswe can work together for public safety.We collaborate on prevention, cooperationand coordination of resources.We have worked on making sure therewould be uniformity in the handling ofcriminal matters at our local branch offices,assuring that no matter where youare in San Diego, you are treated equallyand fairly.Finally, we were able to serve more than1,000 San Diegans, especially seniors, duringthe First Annual Consumer ProtectionDay. Thanks to the generous support ofour County Board of Supervisors ChairwomanPam Slater-Price, our office wasable to begin a tradition. We presenteda full day of consumer expert panels andexhibitors free to the public.As the crime of identity theft continues torise, the need for public education doestoo. Consumer Protection Day was oneof the venues we were able to provide tothe public with expert information in afun and exciting way.It is gratifying knowing that our job asprosecutors does not end in the courtroom.We are members of our communitiesand care deeply about them. Webelieve it’s just as important to make acase for community outreach. We knowcommunity outreach, partnerships andcrime prevention go hand in hand.It is our belief that changing criminalbehavior starts in the neighborhood.Bonnie M. DumanisDistrict Attorney
