"DA Jenkins' Office Loses Reform Focus as Dozens Depart in a Year"
At least 45 employees have voluntarily left the San Francisco District Attorney's office in the year since Brooke Jenkins took over as the head, in addition to the 15 employees she fired. Former employees cite a culture of fear, politically driven decisions, and regressive policies that have diminished the focus on reform. Many long-time employees who worked through multiple administrations feel that the commitment to reform has vanished under Jenkins' leadership. Concerns have been raised about the high turnover rate and questionable new hires, including the appointment of an inexperienced chief for the gutted Victim Services Division. Critics argue that Jenkins has failed to take responsibility for the office's unchanged conditions and has instead blamed her predecessor.
