"John Burris: Godfather of Police Litigation" Documentary
For decades, John Burris has been a force in the courtroom, holding police accountable and standing up for families who deserved justice. From Rodney King to Oscar Grant, his cases have shaped the movement against police brutality and exposed the truth about a broken system. Now, his legacy is front and center in "John Burris: Godfather of Police Litigation," a must-watch documentary that shows what real accountability looks like.
My path as a civil rights attorney—and then as D.A.—was shaped by John Burris’ fight for justice. And I'm continuing that fight in a new way with Pamela Price Unfiltered, a bold new podcast tackling the hard truths about systemic racism, police violence, and what it really takes to create change. No sugarcoating. No empty talk. Just real conversations that demand action.

Alameda County Consumer Justice Bureau

Hon. Price's team worked tirelessly to identify and prosecute unscrupulous businesses that denied employees their rightful earnings. Through their efforts, numerous victims of wage theft received justice.
The impact of Hon. Price's work was significant, sending a strong message to corporations that exploitation and disregard for the law would not be tolerated in Alameda County. Her commitment to consumer justice has left a lasting legacy, inspiring a more just and equitable society for all.

A new Public Accountability Unit was established within the district attorney’s office by the honorable Pamela Price. Price had pledged to ensure accountability, emphasizing her commitment to addressing police misconduct, particularly in-custody deaths. She stated that the formation of the PAU unit marked the beginning of the reckoning that Alameda County had sought in holding police and other public officials responsible for their actions.
One of the notable achievements of the honorable Pamela Price was her dedication to enhancing and managing victims' services, particularly through the Victim-Witness Assistance Division, which had suffered from significant mismanagement. Many were unaware that Alameda County faced a staggering backlog of 300 to 400 days for victim compensation and payments to service providers.
The process involved the California Victim Compensation Board allocating funds to local district attorney’s offices to assist victims. This included covering burial costs, certain medical expenses, mental health counseling, and claims for lost income. Victims who experienced income loss were eligible for state compensation. The Victim-Witness Assistance Division primarily relied on state funding, which dictated its staffing levels through grants.
Before her leadership, the previous district attorney’s office had been remarkably inefficient in delivering compensation to victims, contributing to a statewide delay that was exacerbated by Alameda County's issues. Some mental health providers offered services at rates significantly lower than the market average, yet they faced payment delays exceeding a year.
Additionally, there was a significant backlog of U visa applications for numerous victims who required these visas to remain in the country and testify. During the tenure of the honorable Pamela Price, the backlog of U visa applications was successfully resolved.
The second annual Breaking the Chains Awareness Walk was a great success. With the support of Honorable Pamela Price, this significant event will be established as an annual tradition to commemorate human trafficking prevention month, consistently raising awareness about human trafficking, encouraging action, and protecting our community. #humantraffickingawareness #alamedacounty #oakland #protectblackgirls #protectblackwomen
While commemorating Dr. Martin Luther King's official birthday, the honorable Pamela Price reflects on his death and the inspiration he provided for her advocacy in civil rights and justice.
Alameda County District Attorney Officer & The Consumer Justice Bureau
During Pamela Price's tenure, her Consumer Justice Bureau investigated multiple home insurance carriers, which made up 15% of California's home insurance market. These carriers were accused of orchestrating a widespread scheme to systematically underinsure California homes, providing consumers with replacement cost estimates that were significantly lower than the actual costs required to rebuild homes in the event of a disaster.
This practice violated insurance regulations that mandate inclusion of reasonable rebuilding expenses. Protecting Alameda County homeowners was one of Pamela Price's key objectives during her time in office .

January is recognized as National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, and I find myself reflecting on my time as the District Attorney of Alameda County. During that period, I made a commitment to confront human trafficking directly, and I take pride in the progress and accomplishments we achieved.
I believe that raising awareness is essential in preventing human trafficking, which is why I invested in billboards at Oakland International Airport. These billboards highlight the disturbing reality of human trafficking in our community and the urgent need for attention to this issue.
Throughout my tenure, supporting victims of sex trafficking was among my top priorities. I am proud of what we accomplished, and I remain dedicated to ensuring justice for all affected individuals.
As we look ahead, let us reinforce our dedication to eradicating human trafficking in all its forms. We must remain vigilant, collaborate, and protect the vulnerable, while also holding offenders accountable.
Exposing injustice, holding the powerful accountable, and turning awareness into action. Let’s create real change that serves the people. Exposing injustice.
