A veteran prosecutor, Supervising Deputy District Attorney Chris Carlson channeled his brilliant mind and zeal for justice to dramatically expand and improve Sacramento County’s collaborative justice and treatment courts, beginning with his assignment in 2012 to the nascent Mental Health Court. Through his hard work and extraordinary ability to work with all stakeholders, Sacramento ushered-in numerous collaborative justice courts, to include Reentry Court and the Veteran’s Treatment Court, and expanded from one mental health court treating relatively few to multiple such courts treating hundreds. Tough but fair, court participants deeply respected Mr. Carlson, often expressing at graduation their gratitude for giving them a chance and keeping them on task, with Mr. Carlson often replying that while proud of them, he hoped never to see them again.
Established in 2024 shortly before his passing, the Chris Carlson “Big Heart” Award recognizes those in the collaborative justice stakeholder community embodying its namesake’s compassion and extraordinary commitment to providing treatment with accountability to those in the criminal justice system. Recipients will come from the provider community, allied treatment agencies, and the probation department.
The award is presented each year as part of National Treatment Court Month. A perpetual plaque of recipients will be displayed in a suitable location at the Tani Cantil-Sakauye Courthouse.

Congratulations to this year's recipient, Deputy DA Elise Stafford. A well-deserved honor for her work to continue Chris' legacy in the Collaborative Courts.
