Who can issue an indictment?

A police officer
A mayor
A grand jury
A senator

The correct answer is: A grand jury

Indictments are formal accusations of a crime, which typically occur at the beginning of a criminal case. Indictments are issued by a grand jury, which is a group of citizens who review evidence and determine whether there is enough evidence for a trial. Police officers may make an arrest and present evidence to the grand jury, but they do not have the authority to issue indictments on their own. Mayors and senators also do not have the authority to issue indictments.
