Part 7
VII. SAN BENITO COUNTY HALL OF RECORDS
BACKGROUND
The Grand Jury inspected the Hall of Records
METHOD OF REVIEW
On site review
Letter received from County Clerk (attached)
OBSERVATIONS, FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
The Grand Jury made its annual review of the Evidence Locker at the Hall of Records. We found that a deplorable situation exists. It should be brought to the attention of the Board of Supervisors and the Judges that the security within this hall leaves a great deal to be desired. Although we have received a letter from the County Clerk indicating that the situation has been corrected, several members of this body walked through the hall and were neither stopped nor requested to sign-in on the control sheet.
The Grand Jury was advised that the courts and their evidence and holding areas come under the State of California jurisdiction.
