He helped us to understand the practical side of reducing the dramatic impact of gun abuse in our society at large and how his department has made use of the tools available to minimize their impact in our own community.
He explained the difficulty of getting a restraining order but explained that we do use that option about 300 times a year.
Jeff proudly explained how his 10-year-old Crime Lab has been very effective in helping to solve crimes and apprehend the perpetrators.
Many hundreds of Court Orders to restrain gun use had been routinely issued historically, but until two years ago there had been no system in place to follow through on implementing the orders. The success of his follow-through program has been dramatic in reducing domestic violence cases.
But guns can be made safer both by better security control over the actual gun firing mechanism and by keeping better records of gun ownership, which is an ongoing and evolving program in California.
In a growing population, the DA’s office has been successful in reducing gun crime and in resolving crimes without the expense and time involved in the adversarial option.
Many questions followed and the audience was left feeling a little safer and a lot more knowledgeable about how our community is being looked after by Jeff Rosen’s dedicated DA department.
