Michael Allen, JD - District Attorney 4th Judicial District/Colorado Talks Crime & Accountability in El Paso/Teller Counties
Michael Allen has dutifully served as the 4th Judicial District's, District Attorney since his first election in 2020. DA Allen is running for re-election in November 2024 for the district which includes all of El Paso and Teller Counties in Colorado.
Under Allen's leadership, the 4th Judicial District DA's office is on track to prosecute more than 95% of the cases that are presented to the court, and will bring 400 cases to trial.
Allen credits excellent police work on the part of local and federal agencies who are conducting thorough investigations, following protocols, and presenting organized cases to the DA's office. He also credits the team at the DA's office who are committed to holding bad actors into account where other districts, even in Colorado, are taking a far more lenient approach to criminal justice.
A strong District Attorney's office equates to:
- Strong economic vitality
- Public safety, and
- Confidence among law enforcement agencies who know prosecutors will do their job of holding into account those who commit crimes.
