Information

Referral History:

On February 19, 2016, the Office of Equal Employment Opportunity was advised by the State of California Office of Emergency Services that the County's District Attorney's Office was awarded a grant of $909,889.00 for the Victim/Witness Assistance Program. One of the requirements of the award was for Contra Costa County (the County) to develop and distribute an Equal Employment Opportunity Plan (EEOP) which details specific actions the County plans to take to attract more applicants who self-identify as groups that are under-represented within our workforce as of December 31, 2015. Once the information was tabulated and analyzed, it was sent to the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs for their review and approval.

Referral Update:

The EEOP was approved by the committee on April 11, 2016 meeting. The committee directed the item to be carried over to the May 2016 meeting to ask the Office of the District Attorney additional questions.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

REVIEW and discuss the EEOP for the District Attorney's Office.
