"It strengthens collaboration with our local law enforcement partners, it improves our efficiency, our casework and court operations, and it will allow us to respond to the needs of victims and families in real time right here, Becton said at the grand opening of the office on Monday. It also sends a message that East County matters, and the people who live and work here deserve accessible and responsive justice."
"Becton said her office has been working with Contra Costa County over the past two years to set up a Pittsburg location, which will have about 30 people on staff. We will have attorneys, we will have our filers, which is really important because it gives greater access to our law enforcement partners so they don't have to drive into Martinez for most things, they could come here to meet those who are going to be filing their cases, said Becton."
A new Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office location opened on Railroad Avenue in Pittsburg to bring prosecutorial and victim services closer to East County residents. The office will have about 30 staff, including attorneys, filers, and on-site victim advocates. The location will strengthen collaboration with local law enforcement, improve casework and court efficiency, and enable real-time responses to victims and families. The office reduces travel to Richmond and Martinez for legal support and filing. The DA's office partners with the Family Justice Center in Antioch to assist families affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, elder abuse, and human trafficking, addressing needs in a rapidly growing East County.
