(Oregon City, OR)  --  Clackamas County is the first in the state to form a District Attorney's Office Advisory Panel.  It's comprised of a diverse group of people representing various communities within the county.  Unlike other advisory boards in the county that report to the county commission, this group only reports to the District Attorney.  The goal is to promote open communication, encourage community involvement in criminal justice affairs, and create education initiatives.  The panel will meet once a quarter.
