Rooted in her campaign promises of “Accountability, Transparency, and Responsibility,” Changing the Face of Justice Day serves as a powerful extension of these principles, reflecting the office’s unwavering commitment to transform the landscape of justice.

Every June 9th, the anniversary of her election to this seat, the District Attorney pulls back the curtains, inviting community members, stakeholders, and concerned citizens to witness firsthand the significant strides achieved in pursuit of a fair and just society. By embodying the values of accountability, transparency, and responsibility, this event showcases the meticulous efforts taken by the office to foster trust, build bridges, and strengthen the fabric of their communities.

Attendees are presented with tangible evidence of successful investigations, prosecutions, and convictions, highlighting the office’s commitment to holding perpetrators accountable for their actions. Through the display of past cases, the office demonstrates its dedication to ensuring that no crime goes unpunished and that justice is served.

Transparency, another pillar DA Howard’s campaign promises, is deeply ingrained in the fabric of Changing the Face of Justice Day. Visitors are provided with unprecedented access to the inner workings of the justice system, allowing them to gain insight into the decision-making processes, legal procedures, and the various initiatives undertaken by the office. This transparency fosters a stronger bond between the District Attorney’s office and the community it serves, instilling a sense of trust and confidence in the pursuit of justice.
