The United States Attorney's Office is a prosecutorial agency primarily dedicated to enforcing federal laws and representing the United States of America in court proceedings. While the United States Attorney's Office assists federal agencies with investigative functions, the Office is not an investigative agency.

Accordingly, citizen concerns and complaints not related to a publicly filed matter currently pending in the United States Attorney's Office should be referred directly to the appropriate investigating agency. Listed below are the more common investigative issues with links to the appropriate agency information.

The District comprises 15 counties:  Alameda, Contra Costa, Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake, Marin, Mendocino, Monterey, Napa, San Benito, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and Sonoma.  The largest counties are Humboldt, Mendocino and Monterey, which together represent over half of the land area within the District.
