In accordance with Federal and State Civil Rights laws and the Governor's Code of Fair Employment, the Office of the Public Defender EEOO's primary function is to ensure that all employees and applicants have equal access to opportunities of employment and that our offices are free of employment discrimination and retaliation.

​

The Equal Employment Opportunity Office is responsible for developing, monitoring, evaluating, and educating its staff on equal employment opportunities [Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, The Americans with Disabilities Act, Amended 2009 (ADAAA)] in all of its districts. Its mission is to ensure that all of its employees, applicants, and clients receive equal access and services in every area of their business lives.

​

If any employee or applicant feels that they have been discriminated against on one of the protected bases; race, color, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical or mental disability, national origin, religion, genetic information, pregnancy, marital status, political affiliation, or retaliation, they should contact Ms. Priscilla Johnson or Ms. Jasmine Doyle.
