Meeting - April 18, 2024

Steve Cooley was the Los Angeles County District Attorney from 2000 to 2012. At his 2000 swearing-in ceremony, he charged his over 1,000 prosecutors - including more than 300 District Attorney investigators and 600 clerical, technical and support staff - to "show no fear in pursuing the criminal element, but also be fearless in the pursuit of justice."  In 2010, Cooley won the Republican nomination for California Attorney General but lost that election in a close race to the Democratic nominee, San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris.
