What is the difference between the San Diego County Civil Grand Jury and a criminal grand jury?
A criminal grand jury hears evidence of a criminal activity and returns an indictment if the evidence so dictates. A civil grand jury may investigate complaints against government entities and issues reports based on those investigations. A civil grand jury also performs a watchdog function of government activities to insure they are operating in the most efficient manner.
