Civil Grand Jurors' Association-Humboldt Chapter
Civil Grand Jurors' Association-Humboldt Chapter
The California Grand Jurors' Association (CGJA) is a state-wide organization made up of citizens who have served on the Civil Grand Jury in the past. We are the Humboldt County chapter of the CGJA. Our purpose is to support the sitting grand jury by educating the public about the role of the Civil Grand Jury and encourage participation throughout our region.
Each year, 19 citizens are selected by the Superior Court to investigate, report, and recommend improvements within county and city agencies, special districts, and other publicly funded organizations. Serving on the Humboldt Civil Grand Jury is one of the most meaningful ways to make a difference in our community. Jurors review local operations, interview public officials, and examine how tax dollars are managed.
If you are a resident of Humboldt County CA, 18 years or older, and have a desire to improve government efficiency and fairness, we invite you to learn how to apply for the Civil Grand Jury.
If you believe a government agency or official in Humboldt County is not acting in the public’s best interest, you may file a confidential complaint for review. Each submission is carefully evaluated to determine whether an investigation is warranted.
The Humboldt Civil Grand Jury can investigate complaints related to:
Misuse or waste of public funds
Inefficiency, neglect, or misconduct by local officials
Conditions in county jails or detention facilities
Operations of local boards, commissions, and special districts
To promote, preserve, and support the Humboldt Civil Grand Jury system through training, education, and outreach.
