Does the Florida Attorney General's Office finally
realize that VolusiaExposed.Com's concerns about the VCDPP
qualifies for a Special Grand Jury review?

UPDATE July 8, 2010 Well, we heard from the Attorney General Office (AGO) again. Please refer to the below attached July 8, 2010 email. Back on June 23,2010 we received an email from the AGO stating that they were going to forward our concerns to the Office of Citizen Services. Apparently this Office of Citizen Services review complaints to be forwarded to the Special Grand Jury on Public Corruption. Although yesterday's (July 7, 2010) email appears to state that the Office of Citizen Services forwarded our concerns to the Statewide Prosecutor Office for review, we hold the belief that nothing will actually be reviewed. However, let's see what happens.

UPDATE June 29, 2010 Apparently, the Volusia County Sheriff Department was interested in this web page - according to internet records they visited this web page on June 28,2010. VolusiaExposed.Com is consistently visited by governmental agencies such as VCSO, State Attorney, Attorney General, DCF, Volusia County Government and several other local city and county governments. Hey, VCSO, instead of just sitting around and reading about it, why don't you investigate our concerns - you can start by re-opening the Tracy Veira death investigation -- why didn't VCSO Investigator Campenella follow up on the inconsistencies that he himself documented in the apparent time of Veira's death compared to her last documented interaction with jail staff?

Does Volusia County have the same problems that Orange County had in 2001? Accusations that a medical autopsy of a dead jail inmate was manipulated to relieve the county from civil liability.

As many of our readers know, VolusiaExposed.Com has been attempting to get any agency in authority to investigate some questionable events and practices within the Volusia County Department of Public Protection (VCDPP).

FDLE has advised VolusiaExposed.Com that they will not investigate any of our concerns. Please refer to the attached web link in regards to FDLE's notification

FDLE's notification to VolusiaExposed.Com of their refusal to investigate

The local State Attorney office appears to have no to little interest in investigating our concerns. We believe this maybe connected to politics.

Please see our letter to the local State Attorney's office

In the attached emails (June 22-23, 2010) with the Florida Attorney General's office, they initially refused to forward our concerns to the Special Grand Jury on Public Corruption. Apparently, per the Attorney General's email, this Special Grand Jury can only review / investigate public corruption that transpired in two or more Florida Judicial Circuits. Not too many Florida city or county governments cross between different judicial circuits. We pointed out the fact to the Attorney General's office that the VCDPP is responsible for medical examiner duties for both Volusia and Seminole counties. Volusia County resides in the 7th judicial circuit while Seminole county resides in the 18th judicial circuit.

Since some of our concerns of questionable practices within the VCDPP revolve around the Volusia County Medical Examiner's office (a subsection within the VCDPP) it would appear to be appropriate for these concerns to be investigated by an outside agency (State Attorney, FDLE, Grand Jury). In the AGO's June 23, 2010 email response, it appears that they have decided to forward our concerns for further consideration of being given to the Special Grand Jury.

Concerns of jail inmate death investigations - in particular, Tracy Veira's death

We actually expect that little will be investigated, but we shall continue to memorialize our concerns and of the authorities continuing refusal to look into these concerns.
