District Attorney offices fight every day to protect consumers in both civil and criminal matters.

This week, CDAA proudly hosted the 2026 Consumer Protection Prosecutors Conference in Pasadena. CDAA President and San Luis Obispo County District Attorney Dan Dow, along with Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman and CDAA CEO Greg Totten, welcomed 176 consumer prosecutors, investigators, and paralegals from across California.

We were also honored to welcome Senator Tom Umberg, who joined us on Wednesday for a presentation.

CDAA President Dan Dow (San Luis Obispo County District Attorney) and CEO Greg Totten attended the 34th Annual Law Enforcement Legislative Summit today in Sacramento, hosted by CPOA. DA Dow delivered remarks on behalf of the Association to the audience of law enforcement professionals. This coalition has proven, time and again, that it is a powerful force for addressing criminal justice policy issues in California.

Today, on National Prosecutor Day, we proudly recognize the dedicated prosecutors of the Fresno County District Attorney’s Office.

Every day, they work tirelessly on behalf of victims and the people of Fresno County in the pursuit of justice. We recognize the demanding nature of this work and the dedication it takes to serve our community every day.

Thank you for your professionalism, commitment, and service to the County of Fresno.

Joint Statement from California District Attorneys Association, California State Sheriffs’ Association & Chief Probation Officers of California in response to Governor Newsom’s proposed 2026-2027 budget.

“For the second year in a row, the Governor’s budget fails to provide the funding counties need to implement Proposition 36 as voters intended. Californians in all 58 counties overwhelmingly approved Proposition 36 to restore real accountability for serial retail thieves and hard-drug trafficking offenders, paired with court-supervised treatment that is proven to work.

Without adequate resources, law enforcement, prosecutors, and probation officers are left with our hands tied – unable to fully carry out the law and deliver the results Californians demanded at the ballot box.

Proposition 36 provides a proven framework to hold people accountable, direct them into treatment, reduce repeat crime, and help individuals rehabilitate, reunite with their families, and move forward. Counties stand ready to continue the implementation of this model, but it cannot succeed without the funding required to make it work.

California voters were clear. The state has an obligation to fully fund and implement the law they passed, and we look forward to working with the California State Legislature to ensure constituents have their voices heard.”
