Learn How to File a Complaint
Communication from the public can provide valuable information to the grand jury. Anyone may ask the grand jury to conduct an investigation of any issue within its jurisdiction. By law, the proceedings of the grand jury are confidential. The ability to investigate a complaint may be affected by workload, resource limitations, or legal restrictions.
If a matter is within the legally permissible scope of its investigative powers and would warrant further inquiry, the grand jury may request additional information. If a matter does not fall within the grand jury's investigative authority, or the panel determines not to investigate a complaint further, no action will be taken.
