Former members of the Sacramento County grand jury are creating an association of grand jurors to increase the effectiveness of such panels and bolster citizen awareness of how the jury and court systems work.
The Sacramento County Chapter of the California Grand Jurors' Association was certified in December by the state association and is seeking members.
In a written statement, the current foreman of the county grand jury, Donald Prange, said the new group will be a "positive step in helping to reach the public's interest of local agency transparency and accountability."
"We need more informed citizens to become active in grand jury matters," he said.
More information can be obtained by contacting the Sacramento Grand Jury Association at P.O. Box 605, Carmichael, CA 95609; by fax at (916) 979-9443; or by e-mail at jimyspag@aol.com.
