Mission Statement
The Grand Jury is an independent body under the jurisdiction of the courts with primary responsibilities to perform an oversight function for local governments, initiate investigations, serve as ombudsman for citizens, and publish investigative findings and recommendations to improve governmental operations.
Grand Jury Overview
