Gov. Newsom, AG Bonta Partner with Alameda County D.A. Price to Deploy State Attorneys to Boost Criminal Prosecutions in Oakland and the East Bay
The partnership will mean that deputy attorneys general from the California Department of Justice and attorneys from the California National Guard will add capacity to prosecute suspects arrested for serious and complex crimes in Alameda County
By Post Staff
Gov. Gavin Newsom and California Attorney General Rob Bonta are launching a new partnership with Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price to increase the capacity to prosecute suspects involved in violent crimes, serious drug-related crimes, and property crimes — including retail theft and auto burglary — in Oakland and the East Bay.
The partnership will mean that deputy attorneys general from the California Department of Justice and attorneys from the California National Guard will add capacity to prosecute suspects arrested for serious and complex crimes in Alameda County
Said Newsom, “An arrest isn’t enough. Justice demands that suspects are appropriately prosecuted. Whether it’s ‘bipping’ or carjacking, attempted murder or fentanyl trafficking, individuals must be held accountable for their crimes using the full and appropriate weight of the law.”
Bonta said, “The East Bay is my home, and I’m committed to ensuring that the people of Oakland can live and work in a safe community. The California Department of Justice has legal and law enforcement expertise to bring to bear as we work collaboratively to hold bad actors accountable. “
Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price said, “I welcome the support from the governor in this fight against organized retail crime and the scourge of fentanyl in our community. I am assigning Alameda County career prosecutor Assistant DA Michael Nieto to represent my office in this collaborative effort.”
