Lake County State’s Attorney Michael G. Nerheim created a Citizen’s Advisory Panel serving as a bridge between the community and the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Often times, Lake County citizens have concerns or questions, about how the office operates. State’s Attorney Nerheim believes including intelligent, trusted, involved and caring individuals from the community on Citizens Advisory Board helps him address the concerns, questions or uncertainty that may arise within the community. The Citizens Advisory Board currently aids the office communicating with the public while at the same time addressing their concerns as they relate to the reduction of recidivism.
