THE COMMUNITY PROSECUTION MODEL IS GETTING SMARTER & FAIRER, IN SOME PLACES

‘To be a transformational leader and coach, you must deeply understand what you are transforming’. This quote by an unknown author was perfectly suited to this week’s conversation with a District Attorney in Western Mass who has two counties, 47 towns, six Courts and a myriad of worker bees under his care. With more than 33 years of public service, DA David Sullivan is changing the prosecution model by blending smart and fair prosecutions, crime prevention programs, law enforcement partnerships and community collaborations to build safer communities within his jurisdiction and that includes keeping juveniles (17 and Under) from carrying a record with them.
