From linda young. Pieces of evidence floating or a longtime. I imagine everyone is trying to get the bad guy. There are pieces floating around, not everything came together. Thankfully to the dogged persistence of especially when linda young, being able to pull the pieces together we are pretty much there. There will be more tweaks coming along. Good evening commissioners. Thank you for inviting the city Administrators Office. My name is linda young, deputy city administrator. I will discuss quickly the justis project. The transfer of function to the city of ministers Administrators Office which occurred in march, 2011.

Requires that we contact every single victim personally and we do that the attorney. Jean goes to the file, gets a round of calls, she assigns them to the attorney, they give around calls, and we try to maintain the level of communication with the victim and bring them in to the victim advocates who will be to the victim either at the hall of justice or other places, often in peoples homes or in another safe place that they feel is appropriate. We really try to be accessible and available to the victims in a way that is most comfortable to them. However in the process, as we have particularly seen in the last less than six months the change in the public defenders assignment of the cases, our caseload makes it almost impossible to keep that level of touch with the victims and we are seeing a dramatic increase in the number of victims that are uninterested in proceeding when we arrive at the point of trial. For us, we know from having done this work with lowercase lows that when we have
She will present the District Attorneys Office on the review of San Francisco rates for Domestic Violence. We flipped a coin. Have you to be here this evening in front of of these commissions to talk a little bit about our work in the District Attorneys Office as it relates to Domestic Violence. As many of you know we have a vertical Domestic Violence unit as it relates to misdemeanor and felony prosecution. Domestic violence notoriously difficult to prosecute requires building meaningful, deep relationship with the victim so they will have the confidence in us to project them to the Court Proceedings and try to rebuild her family. It is a crucial element of what we do we are committed. To maintaining that. We have six attorneys to handle all misdemeanor and felony Domestic Violence cases. Santa clara also has vertical misdemeanor and felony prosecution approach. In the unit that we have, it handles about 270 cases a month. That is about a 100 increase in the last two years. We have se
With the advocacy organizations of those programs providing Services Including shelter and beyond, that first link really comes through the District Attorneys Office. Unless the victims themselves call those agencies. But certainly you are all helping to assist if persons want that type of support. I think that i would have to attribute that to a joint effort by the scu unit as well as the District Attorneys Office. The first point of real contact that dv victims have are the inspectors and svu. Once inspectors make the initial contact that is where the trust begins. Once that trust is established it is turned over to our office where our attorneys try to maintain that trust. Honestly, with a number of attorneys that we have it is very difficult to maintain that. As we know it is not just the perpetrators who continue to have power and control over the victims but there are families and relatives out there for the defendants who also apply a lot of pressure on the victims. I think that
