Who is John Jordan?

Recently, Jordan and his team were praised by District Attorney Kim Ogg for designing and implementing six juvenile diversion programs. Those programs are helping the office have a caseload completion rate between 71 - 91 percent. During 2022 the office states more than 3,000 juveniles were diverted into these programs.
“These children are now sitting in classrooms instead of jail cells,” DA Ogg explains. “I’m enormously proud of them and of the prosecutors and juvenile probation officials that made that possible.”
