Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig

Jeff Reisig is the District Attorney of Yolo County, which is one of California’s fifty-eight counties, located in Northern California, between the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento. Reisig has served as a prosecutor for nearly 28 years and has been the county’s chief elected law enforcement official since 2007, making him one of California’s longest serving district attorneys.

During his tenure as DA, Reisig has focused intently on advocating for victims of crime and pursuing a balanced approach to public safety. Through strategic methods designed to enhance offender accountability and reduce violent crime, while also embracing innovative programs to help those suffering from serious addiction and mental illness, Reisig has achieved a rare equilibrium in ensuring safe communities and successfully reducing the criminal justice footprint.

Reisig was the first prosecutor in the nation to launch a third-party hosted data-transparency portal in collaboration with the national nonprofit organization, Measures for Justice. The portal provides the public nearly unrestricted access to criminal justice data from his office, while also giving community members a platform to directly share their findings and engage policy makers and the media on the data.

District Attorney Reisig is a member of the National District Attorneys Association and serves on the Board of Directors for The Karpel Foundation. He is also the past president of the California District Attorneys Association.
