Empowering citizens through civic oversight and accountability. We support grand jury members in their mission to serve and investigate local government for the people of Fresno County.
The Civil Grand Jurors' Association of California Fresno County Chapter operates as a committed nonprofit focused on empowering current and former jurors. We strive to increase public understanding of local oversight through educational initiatives across Fresno County to foster transparency and strengthen our local community. Association membership is open to all current and past civil grand jurors.
The Civil Grand Jury serves as a vital oversight body, acting as the eyes and ears of Fresno residents. Unlike criminal grand juries, the Civil Grand Jury's focus is purely civil: investigating local government operations, departments, and special districts to ensure they are conducted efficiently, honestly, and in the best interest of the public. By promoting transparency and providing constructive recommendations, the jury strengthens the foundations of our local democracy.
Participation in the Civil Grand Jury is a unique opportunity for citizens to contribute directly to the integrity of their community. Through systematic review and reporting, members help uncover areas for improvement and celebrate excellence in public service, fostering a more informed and engaged Fresno.
