 Our Jurisdiction - Explore All Colorado Has To Offer
 
 
 
 The 23rd is the newest DA&rsquo;s Office in the state, representing three counties and almost 400,000 Coloradoans.
 
 
 We are perfectly situated to the east of the mountains and between Colorado&rsquo;s two largest cities. To the north is Denver, offering nightlife, performing arts venues, and all 5 major professional sports teams. Directly to the west are the Rocky Mountains, home to world class ski resorts, hiking, mountain biking, and rafting. Directly to the south is Colorado Springs, home to the Garden of the Gods, the Air Force Academy, Olympic Training Center, and Pikes Peak.
 
 
 Douglas County is recognized as offering a quality of life unmatched elsewhere in the state. In 2024, Douglas County was named the 3rd Healthiest Community in America according to the U.S. News and World Report, which measures health and wellness across 10 categories (population health, equity, education, economy, housing, food &amp; nutrition, environment, public safety, community vitality, and infrastructure).
 
 
 Our 3 counties (Douglas, Elbert, and Lincoln) are home to hundreds of miles of trails, countless city parks and open space. We have more than 146,000 acres of Pike National Forest, Roxborough State Park, Castlewood Canyon State Park, and a boating reservoir at Chatfield State Park. Our large jurisdiction spans urban, suburban, and rural areas, offering a variety of communities to fit your individual or family needs.

 A Deputy District Attorney in County Court is the starting point for a career as a prosecutor in the 23rd. We pride ourselves in our dedication to training and preparing Deputy District Attorneys to excel as trial attorneys, courtroom advocates, and most importantly, &ldquo;ministers of justice.&rdquo; A Deputy District Attorney in county court handles a docket of traffic and misdemeanor cases ranging from DUI, child abuse, domestic violence, property crimes, and sex offenses. This includes initial and on-going case review, follow-up with law enforcement agencies, negotiations with defense counsel, meeting with witnesses and victims, preparing and conducting motions and trial. Deputy District Attorneys who excel in County Court have opportunities to promote to District Court, Juvenile Court, and Specialty Units within the office.

Just some of our office events are a yearly chili cook-off challenge, a cornhole tournament, and wildlife photo contest. We have an office softball and golf team. We hold an annual winter holiday party, trick-or-treat street, and frequent summer BBQs on our office grill.
 
 
 
 Skills And Expertise &ndash; Learn From Experience
 
 
 
 To be the best, you should learn from the best. Our office is staffed with experienced prosecutors who have tried some of the highest profile and most complex cases in Colorado history.

 Prosecutors working at our office have been two-time winners of the Colorado Trial Team of the Year, Colorado Prosecutor of the Year, Colorado Prosecutor Trainer of the Year, and a host of other individual awards.
 
 
 Our office strives to be at the forefront of prosecution. From leading the state in giving the public an unprecedented level of insight into our office with our data dashboards, solving decades old cold case murders through DNA analysis from our dedicated forensic crime lab, to solving crimes through digital data analysis of cellphones and geo-location analysis.

We provide weekly trainings, daily guidance and supervision from Deputy District Attorneys in the courtroom, and one-to-one mentorship from the County Court Chief Deputy District Attorney and Senior Deputy District Attorney.
