Of course, there are people who murder and rape, people who do terrible things, who demonstrate they will never change, and we have to handle those cases a certain way. But for most of our offenders, it’s figuring out how to communicate that their conduct is not okay, while providing tools so they don’t simply cycle back to us.

For me, social justice means making sure our attorneys are connected to community-based organizations and treatment programs that allow us to route people into those programs responsibly. Where we have court oversight and supervision to ensure that people are following through with their programs.

Right now, I’m working to responsively and safely move the ball on alternatives to incarceration. So offenders have a chance to move their lives forward because we want to stop the cycle. The way we help San Francisco is to stop that criminal cycle. If we just keep penalizing somebody, putting them back out, or even if we keep them sitting for six months and put them back out with no tools to succeed, they’re just going to commit another crime and come back.

Pam McElroy: How can San Francisco residents help you with your efforts and plans for the city?

DA Jenkins: I hope residents continue to set up meetings with me. Hearing about the challenges in each neighborhood helps me prioritize. It informs me when there aren’t enough police in a certain area, or when there’s a recurring issue.

When community members engage with us through community-related meetings, government officials understand what the community wants and needs.

Our city will never be pro-law enforcement. I understand that. But people are realizing that we serve a very important function in this city, and that function requires investment. We can no longer say we expect safety, but then not invest in the agencies and services that provide it.

For far too long, my office has been overlooked with respect to funding. We’re struggling to get three additional lawyers to work on narcotics. We need the community to vote and voice to their representatives that safety is a priority.

Pam McElroy: It’s clear you’re passionate about your work! What led you down this career path?

DA Jenkins: It’s a personal story, actually. I never planned on being a prosecutor; it never crossed my mind when I was entering law school, or even when I graduated from law school. I ended up going into corporate law and going through the motions for many years—until the death of my firstborn child, which, as you can imagine, changed everything. I had to figure out what my purpose was going to be every day. I thought it was being a mother, but I had to quickly accept that that was not the case at the time. I wanted something that got me out of bed every day, to connect with people when it was easy to withdraw.

I had met two Black prosecutors in another county before this tragedy happened. They seemed to love what they were doing, to feel like they were making a big impact. And that had planted a seed.

After the death of my son, I thought I could be an advocate for parents who have had to bury their children. Knowing I understood their pain. I volunteered first, and I knew very quickly that it was more than just a job for me. It became a passion. That’s how I got into this work.

Pam McElroy: If you could wave a magic wand and change anything about the city, without any roadblocks, what would it be?

DA Jenkins: For the city to invest more in the DA’s office, on preventing crimes from happening in the first place. There are so many things we want to do but lack the resources—both on a prosecution side and having people who can do community work.

We need to focus on intervention and prevention in addition to prosecution. It requires community involvement and investment, especially in our youth and transitional-age-youth population. The resources are limited, and when I look at other counties, that’s not the case.

I would remove hurdles to having more attorneys, for internship programs to bring young people into this office, to learn about opportunities to rise beyond their circumstance and become the district attorney, become something that they never thought about.

Pam McElroy: Is there anything you’d like to communicate to members of the San Francisco Apartment Association?

DA Jenkins: Our economy depends on public safety—I don’t think many people recognized that connection before now. At the very least, they didn’t acknowledge it publicly.

I recognize that connection. Every day, I seek to improve our streets so our economy can thrive, and that means people buying homes, people moving here and renting apartments. It means tourism returning so that our businesses succeed.

People want to move to San Francisco because it is a great city. But no one wants to come if every perception and every reality
