What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill establishes a grant program, administered by the Department of

Justice, that allows counties to create a community prosecutor program. Under the

bill, each county that receives a grant shall designate one or more assistant district

attorneys to operate as community prosecutors. Under the bill, community

prosecutors engage civic leaders, law enforcement agencies, and community

members to develop community outreach programs that are designed to prevent

crime, to identify neighborhood nuisances and crimes affecting quality of life, and to

reduce crime and eliminate the nuisances. Under the bill, community prosecutors

prosecute violent crimes and, whenever possible, resolve nonviolent crimes with

alternatives to prosecution or alternatives to incarceration.
