Crime Free County
Our office is committed to the ACGOV Vision 2026 goal of a Crime-Free County by implementing strong criminal justice strategies, fostering innovative community engagement, and offering effective support for both victims and reentry populations.
Our 10X Goals
The idea behind 10X goals is not to improve something by 10%. The goal is to improve something 10 times. To achieve that, you might have to start over. 10X goals require more than “thinking outside-the-box”. They require you to “rethink the box”.
These 10X Goals are what will help us achieve our vision for Alameda County.
