Community Engagement
Community engagement is a top priority of Circuit Attorney Gabe Gore, who believes it is essential to identify specific community concerns, build trust, and forge strong relationships between members of the public and the Circuit Attorney’s Office (CAO). Working together, our goal is to empower community members to be active participants in the criminal justice process as informed citizens, witnesses, and jurors.
The Circuit Attorney’s Office meets regularly with community and civic organizations, including neighborhood organizations, law enforcement, government agencies, schools, business groups, clergy, and elected leaders who share the CAO’s goal of ensuring public safety. The CAO also uses social media to encourage communication with members of the public.
Citizens Academy
The Citizens Academy is a program offered by the City of St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office. This six-week experience is designed to give residents a deeper understanding of the criminal justice system and the role our office plays within it.
The next Citizens Academy course will take place every Thursday from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., beginning October 9 and concluding November 13, 2025. The program is open to individuals 18 and older who reside in the Greater St. Louis area.
