District Attorney

The Office of the District Attorney in Baton Rouge, Louisiana is located on the 5th floor of City Hall, offering a commanding view of the Mississippi River. As the main hub for criminal justice in the area, the District Attorney's office is dedicated to improving public safety and public health through innovative strategies and partnerships, such as the When You Are Ready Campaign. This cross-sector initiative aims to combat the overdose crisis by providing data-driven interventions and resources to those most at risk.

In collaboration with community organizations and subject matter experts, the District Attorney equips stakeholders with vital information on overdose hotspots, enabling targeted outreach efforts like the Sober Saturday street events. These events, staffed by volunteers who have personal experience with addiction or have been affected by overdose, offer life-saving resources and a message of hope to individuals in need. By addressing the intersection of public health and public safety, the District Attorney's office strives to reduce the devastating impact of drug overdose on families and the community.
