Merced County District Attorney

Family Day is a collaboration between the Merced County District Attorney’s Office and Univision. It has grown into an annual event bringing together organizations and resources from throughout the county. The establishment of Family Day was to educate, support and connect with members of our community. Through this event, we continue working towards a safer and stronger future for all. A special thank you to The Barber Club for providing all the many free haircuts.

Last night, our community came together to honor law enforcement from across the county at the Officer of the Year Dinner. We are proud to share that two members of our office, Investigator Ryan Rasmussen, and Supervising Deputy District Attorney Andre Margain were recognized and celebrated during this special event.

A sincere thank you to the Merced Elks, the Merced County Sheriff’s Office, and the many Explorer Posts whose hard work helped make this possible. Events like these highlight the strong partnerships and community support that continue to strengthen public safety throughout Merced County.

The Merced County District Attorney’s Office was proud to attend this year’s Planada Community Day. A longstanding community tradition that celebrates Planada’s traditions and honors their strength in our county.

Our office appreciated the opportunity to connect with residents, engage with local families, and continue our commitment to transparency, partnership, and community trust.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s celebration a success.

District Attorney Nicole Silveira was honored to give the commencement address at Merced College last week. DA Silveira is a proud alumna of Merced College. Her message focused on the importance of resiliency and positivity when faced with challenges in life. She credits her time at Merced College with setting her on the path to where she is today. “In the Central Valley, we are fortunate to have an incredible institution like Merced College in our own backyard. Not every community does, and we should not take it for granted. Investing in Merced College is an investment in the future of our entire community.” -DA Silveira
