<div><p><br>
Washington County, the safest urban county in Oregon, is seeking applicants for the position of Deputy District Attorney I, II, III, or IV. These positions will be in our misdemeanor or felony criminal units, depending on experience. Our DDAs are responsible for all aspects of case prosecution including charging decisions, case management, negotiations, and trials.<br>
<br>
In addition to safe neighborhoods and top-rated schools, Washington County is home to companies like Nike, Intel, and Columbia Sportswear. We stretch from the western boundary of Portland to the Coast Range, and include the cities of Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, Tualatin, Sherwood, and Forest Grove. We are close enough to Portland to feel urban, but distant enough &ndash; both in proximity and philosophy &ndash; to have our own unique identity.<br>
<br>
In the District Attorney&rsquo;s office, we still believe in principle of accountability. We prosecute all crimes, from low-level misdemeanors to the most serious felonies. We aggressively prosecute violent crimes and repeat offenders, but offer various treatment courts in certain situations. We enjoy good working relationships with the courts and defense bar.<br>
<br>
We offer top-tier prosecutor salaries, a vibrant and collaborative work environment, and generous benefits (including reserved parking). Annual cost-of-living pay increases are routine and merit-based salary increases are common. Our DDA I to IV salary range is currently $106,000 to $211,000. Salary offers for these positions will depend on experience.</p><div><br>
