DA Pamela Price Increases Funding for Retail Theft Prosecutions

Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price introduced her Organized Retail Theft Vertical Prosecution Team. In September, the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office (ACDAO) was awarded a significant two million dollar grant to fund a new prosecution unit to address the community’s growing issue of Organized Retail Theft (ORT).

DA Price announced that Alameda County is one of 13 district attorneys’ offices across California that received funding to establish new vertical prosecution units. The proposal submitted by DA Price and her team on behalf of the ACDAO was ranked second in the entire state. Two of the 31 City Police Departments awarded ORT Prevention Grants are in Alameda County: Fremont Police Dept. and Newark Police Dept.

The grant is part of the state’s largest-ever investment to combat organized retail crime in California. The funds will be allocated in annual installments over the next three years.

The first-of-its-kind model will focus on investigating and prosecuting organized retail theft crimes using a vertical prosecution model. Under the grant program, DA Price has created a team that includes Deputy District Attorneys, Inspectors, and Senior Program Specialists, working together to investigate and prosecute ORT cases from start to finish. DA Price will introduce the team to the public at this very special event. Confirmed attendees include representatives from the Fremont, Newark, and City of Alameda Police Departments, representatives from various local Chambers of Commerce, the Bay Area Council, and retailers around the County.

Since the City of Oakland did not receive a grant, Price’s office will be able to assist with some of the resources from their grant.

Seth Curry Makes Impressive Debut with the Golden State Warriors

Seth looked comfortable in his new uniform, seamlessly fitting into the Warriors’ offensive and defensive system. He finished the night with an impressive 14 points, becoming one of the team’s top scorers for the game. Seth’s points came in a variety of ways – floaters, spot-up three-pointers, mid-range jumpers, and a handful of aggressive drives that kept the Oklahoma City Thunder defense on its heels.

Tuesday night was anything but ordinary for fans in San Francisco as Seth Curry made his highly anticipated debut as a new member of the Golden State Warriors. Seth didn’t disappoint, delivering a performance that not only showcased his scoring ability but also demonstrated his added value to the team.

At 35, the 12-year NBA veteran on Monday signed a contract to play with the Warriors for the rest of the season.

One of the most memorable moments of the evening came before Seth even scored his first points. As he checked into the game, the Chase Center erupted into applause, with fans rising to their feet to give the newest Warrior a standing ovation.

The crowd’s reaction was a testament not only to Seth’s reputation as a sharpshooter but also to the excitement he brings to the Warriors. It was clear that fans quickly embraced Seth as one of their own, eager to see what he could bring to the team’s championship aspirations.

Warriors’ superstar Steph Curry – Seth’s brother – did not play due to an injury. One could only imagine what it would be like if the Curry brothers were on the court together. Magic in the making.

Seth’s debut proved to be a turning point for the Warriors. Not only did he contribute on the scoreboard, but he also brought a sense of confidence and composure to the floor.

While their loss last night, OKC 124 – GSW 112, Seth’s impact was a game-changer and there’s more yet to come. Beyond statistics, it was clear that Seth’s presence elevated the team’s performance, giving the Warriors a new force as they look to make a deep playoff run.
