became the first office in California to successfully
introduce D.N.A. "genetic fingerprinting" evidence
in a criminal case. |

Welcome
to the Ventura County District Attorney's Web site. For
many years, FBI crime reports have shown Ventura County
to be one of the safest metropolitan areas in the United
States. Since at least 1993, Ventura County has had the
lowest overall crime rate of any metropolitan area in the
Pacific region.
Thanks
to the dedicated members of this office, the local police,
Sheriff, California Highway Patrol, and, most importantly,
the support of county residents, our community is
a safe place
|
to live, work, and raise a family. I am
pleased to provide this opportunity for the citizens of Ventura
County to learn more about the District Attorney's Office
and to share your concerns with us.
