Coming up on Wednesday Night Live // District Attorney Mike Hestrin

Michael A. Hestrin was elected as Riverside County District Attorney in June 2014 and was sworn in to serve as the District Attorney on Jan. 5, 2015.
Since his election, Hestrin launched an internal review of systems and procedures to identify areas in need of improvement and has focused on creating and implementing an innovative paperless case filing/tracking system that integrates the DA’s office with partner agencies and the court to save taxpayer monies while ushering the DA’s Office into the 21st Century. In addition to technological improvements, Hestrin created the Crime Prevention Unit tasked with community outreach and preventing criminal behavior among our youth. The program has received national recognition and is in great demand. Additionally, Hestrin has formed the DA’s Organized Crime Unit. He has also developed and implemented the DA’s Collaborative Courts Unit that combines judicial supervision with rehabilitation services to reduce recidivism and improve offender outcomes.
