County business leaders met virtually today with Maricopa County Attorney Allister Adel to discuss items of interest to the Maricopa County business community. This is the first meeting of Adel’s Business Advisory Council and attendees were provided a presentation about the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office Diversion Programs. Attendees were asked to provide feedback, ask questions and advise on future topics they would like to see discussed.
“Public safety is critical to ensuring a stable and growing economy for our community. Understanding the concerns of business leaders provides a perspective that is important to my decision-making process. Not only are businesses often victims of crime, they employ members of the community who may have interactions with our criminal justice system,” stated County Attorney Adel. “I am committed to having conversations with members of this community to improve the practices of the County Attorney’s Office.”
