Advisory Board Member, Former District Attorney, San Joaquin County, California

Tori Verber-Salazar

Tori Verber-Salazar served as the first woman to be elected District Attorney in San Joaquin County. Her innovative approach to criminal justice reform and exemplary leadership led to a 20% reduction in violent crime, 30% reduction in recidivism, and a 52% increase in team diversity. During her tenure, Verber-Salazar added over 150 team members to ensure public safety and build alternatives to incarceration. She led the successful implementation of several programs including the first restorative justice program and live-in reentry program for people released from incarceration to access services, gain employment opportunities, and reunite with their families. She spearheaded the implementation of Propositions 64 and 47 which provided 50,000 community members with clean records and over 2 million Californians with record clearance. Lastly, she expanded victim resources through the creation of the Family Justice Center, providing services to over 1,500 survivors every month and quadrupling victim witness services.
