The largest prosecutor's office north of Los Angeles, the Santa Clara County Office of the District Attorney serves a population of almost two million. The office has 640 employees, including 196 deputy district attorneys. From gang homicides to human trafficking to organized cyber and hi-tech crime, the DA’s Office prosecutes tens of thousands of cases each year. The office is headed up by an elected district attorney.
A three-month investigation ended last week when police arrested Peter Karasev, 36, on suspicion of bombing transformers on Thornwood Drive in December and on Snell Avenue in January.
The district attorney also is asking all elected district attorneys throughout the U.S. to take their offices off Twitter.
