OUR NEW LOOK, AND OUR NEW INVESTIGATION SECTION.

VolusiaExposed.Com has been recently redesigned. While we have a new look, our mission stays the same, to expose corruption within local public service agencies, with particular attention given to Volusia County Government. Over the next couple of months, VolusiaExposed will be seeking each completed internal affairs investigation within the divisions of the Volusia County Department of Public Protection and the Volusia County Sheriff Department. Our eventual goal is to make available to you, our readers, all internal affairs investigations coming out of those departments. Further, these investigative reports will assist other officers within those departments. These reports will allow these officers to review the investigative processes taken, and determine for themselves if such actions were consistent with past practices, and with current laws governing such internal investigations. This is a rather large undertaking, and will, at best, take months to complete. Therefore, with that in mind, we shall start with the Volusia County Sheriff Department.
