InfoDave Young was elected District Attorney by the citizens of Adams and Broomfield counties in November 2012. He was sworn into office on January 8, 2013 and reelected for a second term as District Attorney in 2016. He is responsible for the prosecution of more than 5,700 felony and 26,000 misdemeanor and traffic criminal cases each year.

Dave’s career demonstrates his lifelong commitment to justice. As chief prosecutor for the 17th Judicial District, he is an aggressive prosecutor who is committed to working with local law enforcement agencies to guarantee the fair administration of justice and obtaining justice for victims of crime. He is a passionate advocate for victims of crime who also respects the rights of the accused.

His goal is to vigorously pursue the ends of justice, protect the citizens of Adams and Broomfield counties from violent crime, protect children from predators, protect senior citizens from exploitation and create a safer community through partnerships with law enforcement and other groups. He is an advocate of victim’s rights and giving victims a strong voice in the system.

Dave joined the District Attorney’s Office for Adams and Broomfield counties in 2005 as a chief trial deputy and later as Assistant District Attorney. He continues to prosecute high profile capital murder cases while supervising the staff of 71 attorneys and 114 support staff.

Dave began his career as a prosecutor more than 27 years ago as a Deputy District Attorney with the 4th Judicial District for El Paso and Teller counties where he prosecuted high profile murder cases and oversaw major drug investigations in the jurisdiction. As head of the homicide unit, Dave prosecuted high profile capital murder cases, including death penalty cases, and oversaw the prosecution of hundreds of homicides.

Dave serves on the board for the Adams County Youth Initiative and the Governor’s School Safety Advisory Board, and served for many years on the boards for the Colorado Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice, the Colorado District Attorney’s Governing Board and the 17th Judicial District Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee.

In 2009, as part of a program of the Conference of Western Attorneys General, Dave participated in training prosecutors from Mexico in courtroom advocacy, victim rights, defendant rights and other aspects of American prosecution techniques as Mexico transitions into an adversarial justice system.

Raised in Colorado, Dave is a graduate of the University of Wyoming School of Law and Midwestern State University.
