Friend,
I am honored to receive this award, along with Elaina Shively, for our highly successful Restorative Justice & Diversion Programs. It is more than just an award for the two of us; it is a reflection of the outstanding work of the entire DA team.
Our programs are a proven success in supporting victims, repairing harm, holding people accountable, and improving community safety for the long-term. These innovative programs reduce the likelihood that an individual will commit another crime or ever return to the justice system.
- We successfully divert more than 50% of all juvenile offenders.
- Our Mental Health Diversion Program connects people in crisis with medication and treatment
- Overall, we have a 92% success rate across all programs.
I am grateful for the Champion of Democracy Award and inspired for the work ahead.
All the best-
Michael
