About JM Audits
JM Audits is an independent government-accountability and civil-rights platform based in Central Florida. Through video, public records, official documents and direct reporting, JM Audits makes public business easier to see, understand and discuss.
Why I Audit
JM Audits grew from personal experience with law enforcement, local government and the misuse of public authority. That experience led to documenting public encounters, requesting the records behind government decisions and helping other people understand how to hold public agencies accountable.
What JM Audits Does
Document
Record public interactions and preserve evidence of how government employees and agencies serve the public.
Investigate
Use public-record requests, policies, court filings and official reports to establish what happened.
Explain

Our Approach
Accountability works best when people can examine the evidence themselves. Whenever practical, JM Audits links directly to source documents, public records, video and other supporting material.
The focus is not party politics. It is documenting government activity, asking direct questions and keeping public attention on transparency, civil liberties and responsible public service.
