    Proud to have cosponsored Assemblyman 's first-in-the-nation bill along with . It's only when DAs are not financially beholden to police unions that the public can be confident in the decisions prosecutors make about holding police officers accountable.

    Today, District Attorney announced his cosponsorship of California State Assemblymember Rob Bonta's legislation to require prosecutors to recuse themselves from the prosecution of police misconduct if they accept money from police unions.

    We’ve decreased application processing from an average of 60 days to 27! And bill processing from an average of 80 days to 51! We’ve also decreased income loss from 88 days to 75. What this means is that victims of crime are being helped much more quickly.

    My victim services team - almost all grant funded - does so much critical work every day to support victims and survivors of crime. This year we've made huge strides - and so much more to do:

    Forthcoming bill, to be introduced by , would require DAs to bow out of police misconduct investigations if they've accepted campaign contributions from police unions. Sponsors include current, former SF DAs ,

    "an Alliance for Justice survey found that victims of crime and their loved ones — like us — are twice as likely to favor rehabilitative programming and alternatives to incarceration. Clearly, incarcerating our way to safety doesn’t work."

    It’s fine to disagree with our policies or practices. But, , at least tell the whole story and stop misleading SF residents about our priorities or our work. And no amount of these attacks will stop me from working to make the legal system better serve victims.

    Our survey aimed to give survivors an opportunity to be heard by us—including those who don’t have a media platform. But the perspectives of two survivors whose crimes happened years before I took office don’t represent all survivors.

    Strange that implied that our pilot to expand testing for sexual assault survivors doesn’t matter because she didn’t like the announcement timing. It was an effort involving multiple agencies, planned for weeks. Sorry, that it posed a hiccup for you.

    The truth is has previously written how prior administrations had filings rates of 40% in sexual assault cases—which they reported as twice the national average. Yet somehow the fact that that filings went up by 17% under me is treated by as a failing.

    I also invited this survivor to help us ensure that no survivors undergo similar experiences. She declined, saying she didn’t want to help us for free. So we offered incentives for our survey—a recognition that folks who take time to fill out surveys might want a thank you.

    To show you just how inaccurate this story is, here's an unedited email I sent to a survivor quoted in this story in June (one of several I sent her). We shared the email with but she failed to mention it in her piece. Compassion wasn’t the story she wanted to tell.

    The police and the prior administration all believed neither of these cases could be filed. I looked anyway. I met with them anyway. When we couldn't file a case, I invited both of these two survivors to join community advisory boards. One accepted.

    There were 54 questions in the survey—she disliked one. There were two survivors quoted in her article. I personally met with both of them and personally examined the evidence in each of their cases. Mind you my office has around 5,000 open cases at any given time.
