Public Integrity

The District Attorney’s Public Integrity Division reviews complaints alleging criminal misconduct committed by elected and appointed officials, and their subordinates, committed in the course of their official duties. When sufficient evidence of criminal conduct exists, the Public Integrity Division vertically prosecutes these cases. The Public Integrity Division also reviews complaints involving the State’s Brown Act to determine whether violations have been committed.

The Public Integrity Division’s ultimate goal is to increase the public’s level of confidence in its elected and appointed officials.

If you have evidence of criminal misconduct by a public official or employee, please send your complaint in writing to publicintegrity@da.lacounty.gov or the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, Public Integrity Division, 211 West Temple Street, Suite 1000, Los Angeles, CA 90012.

All complaints must be in writing and must contain some proof of criminal misconduct. Complaints will not be taken over the phone.
