NEW ORLEANS – Today, District Attorney Jason Williams released “The People’s Report,” a review of achievements from his first year at the helm of the Orleans Parish DA’s Office (“OPDA”) in the areas of (1) increasing safety, (2) delivering justice, (3) investing in our youth, (4) increasing victim/witness and diversion supports, (5) rebuilding public trust/transparency, and (6) building a 21st century prosecutor’s office.
In 2021, OPDA has prioritized collaboration with law enforcement and community partners to properly and successfully prosecute violent crimes, divert mental health and substance abuse cases to treatment, and enhance public trust and cooperation in investigations by resolving wrongful convictions and increasing transparency.
“I promised my fellow New Orleanians when running for District Attorney that I would transform the DA’s Office, from one that solely sought high conviction rates and sentence lengths – without regard to their actual impact on public safety – to one that instead sought to make our neighborhoods truly safer and the criminal legal system more just,” said District Attorney Jason Williams. “I’m proud to have kept that promise in my first year in office.”
