Innovation & Technology

Yolo County’s Operation Vigilance is a cooperative effort involving multiple law enforcement agencies at the local, state, and federal level to contact local sex offenders. In addition to the traditional physical searching that law enforcement relies upon, Operation Vigilance also concentrates on searching the content of computers and mobile digital storage devices. Operation Vigilance utilizes both high-tech examination software, as well as trained computer and mobile forensic law enforcement personnel to assist in the searches of parolee and probationer sex offenders.

The Mission of Operation Vigilance is to help increase public safety by utilizing collaborative law enforcement efforts and existing technology to conduct targeted searches and compliance checks of known sex offenders.

Operation Vigilance is a deterrent to those known sex offenders who may be prone to re-offend.

Paperless DA’s Office

In 2010, Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig announced an ambitious plan to transform the District Attorney’s Office to a paperless environment within a year’s time. Working in collaboration with SyTech Solutions, Hewlett Packard, and the Yolo County Information Technology Telecommunications Division, the District Attorney’s office successfully launched paperless prosecution of all new misdemeanor criminal cases in April of 2011 and completed the conversion of adult criminal cases to paperless by including all new felony criminal case filings in August of 2011.
