DISCUSSION
In 2009, the Board of Supervisors established, by adopting Resolution No. 2009-022, the Real Estate Fraud Prosecution Program and the District Attorney subsequently
established the Real Estate Fraud Investigations Unit within the District Attorney’s Office. Government Code section 27388 (d) requires the following:
“The county board of supervisors shall annually review the effectiveness of the district attorney in deterring, investigating, and prosecuting real estate
fraud crimes based upon information provided by the district attorney in an annual report. The district attorney shall submit the annual report to the
board on or before September 1 of each year.”
The attached report provides the information required for the annual report using a standard format provided by the Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO)
and provides an overview of the activities of the Investigations Unit in Shasta County. |
