County Of LOS Angeles

The County of Los Angeles, doing business as the District Attorney's Office, is a local government entity that receives federal grant funding to support various law enforcement and victim services initiatives. As the largest local prosecutorial agency in the United States, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office is responsible for prosecuting felony and misdemeanor crimes within its jurisdiction. The office primarily receives federal grants to combat drug trafficking, support victims of crime, and enhance community safety through targeted programs and initiatives.

The District Attorney's Office has been awarded multiple grants from the Office of National Drug Control Policy to support the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) Program. These project grants, typically awarded annually, aim to reduce illicit drug supply by aiding federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies in implementing coordinated enforcement activities, sharing information, and enhancing investigative capabilities. The office also received a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for countering violent extremism through community awareness and education initiatives. Additionally, the office has been awarded numerous sub-grants from the California Office of Emergency Services to provide comprehensive services to victims of violent crimes, including specialized programs for human trafficking victims, elder abuse prevention, and support for underserved communities. These sub-grants are funded through the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) and focus on expanding victim advocacy, support services, and improving the multidisciplinary community response to various forms of abuse and violent crime.

The County of Los Angeles District Attorney's Office holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with the Social Security Administration to provide investigative services supporting the Los Angeles Cooperative Disability Investigations (CDI) Unit. This contract, awarded in August 2019 with a ceiling value of $10,439,405.09, runs through September 30, 2024. Under this IDC, the District Attorney's Office is tasked with investigating suspected fraud activities against SSA's Title II and Title XVI disability programs, including Title XIX (Medicaid), within the state of California. The contracted services require the office to leverage its California statewide law enforcement and arrest authority, experience with NCIC and NICB databases, capability to conduct undercover investigations, and ability to testify in court. This contract demonstrates the office's role in supporting federal efforts to detect and deter fraud within disability programs through partnerships with local law enforcement agencies.
