About the Data

The current DA, George Gascón, has championed alternatives to traditional prosecution, including community-based courts and diversion programs for primary caregivers, people with behavioral health challenges, and other populations. The office keeps administrative records for all people arrested and charged in the Los Angeles court systems.
