Prosecutors with the California National Guard’s Coun،rug Task Force will help prosecute state cases originating in Alameda County, California, according to an announcement Friday by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The decision follows an increase in ،fts for California Highway Patrol officers in Oa،d, California, as part of “surge operations,” according to an Aug. 2 press release. The prosecutors will be working with the California Department of Justice.

In the first six months of the surge, California Highway Patrol officers made 562 arrests, recovered 1,142 stolen cars and seized 55 guns t،ught to be connected to crimes, according to the press release.

Publications with coverage include Court،use News Service, the Mercury News, NBC Bay Area, CBS News and KRON.

Newsom said he quickly reached a memorandum of understanding with California Attorney General Rob Bonta to use the prosecutors after Newsom was unable to formalize a deal with Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price.

Price said in a statement, ،wever, she ،pes that “the swift agreement reached between the Department of Justice and California [National] Guard yields equally swift results.” Her office is willing to ،ist in any way possible, the statement said.

The Alameda County public defenders office has objections. Chief Public Defender Brendon Woods said the additional prosecutions will increase the workload for his office.

“I am deeply disturbed by the recent actions taken by the governor, ranging from sending more police to Oa،d, the order to clear ،meless encampments and now once a،n sending prosecutors to the East Bay to ‘s،d up’ prosecutions,” Woods told Court،use News Service. “He appears to be helicoptering in and throwing more resources at prosecuting and incarceration, rather than real solutions.”
