Jeff Reisig

Jeff Reisig is the District Attorney of Yolo County, which is one of California’s fifty-eight counties, located in Northern California, between the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento. Reisig has served as a prosecutor for over 26 years and has been the county’s chief elected law enforcement official since 2007, making him one of California’s longest serving district attorneys.

During his tenure as DA, Reisig has focused intently on advocating for victims of crime and pursuing a balanced approach to public safety through methods designed to enhance accountability while also embracing programs to reduce recidivism and the criminal justice footprint.  Reisig has also developed multiple highly successful diversion programs to help those suffering from serious addiction and mental illness.  

Reisig was the first prosecutor in the nation to launch a third-party hosted data-transparency portal in collaboration with the national reform organization Measures for Justice. The portal provides the public nearly unrestricted access to criminal justice data from his office, while also giving community members a platform to directly share their findings and engage policy makers and the media on the data.

District Attorney Reisig is a member of the National District Attorneys Association and a member of the board of directors for The Karpel Foundation. He served as the President of the California District Attorneys Association in 2021-2022.
