After the unload I needed to reset my local variable:

                    try {
                        $incidentGrid.jqGrid('GridUnload');
                        $incidentGrid = $('#tblJqGrid');
                    }
                    catch (e) {
                        alert(e.message);
                    }

reload the grid with a new set of parameters. Everything about the grid stays the same, just the parameters 

have changed.  The parameters that are changing is in 'postData'.  I tried so many variations of methods to 

accomplish this but I just can't seem to get it to work.  I tried 'setGridParam' then a .trigger('reloadGrid').  

That didn't work.  The below 'GridUnload" raises an error the second time the user clicks on the menu item. 

 I tried performing a 'clearGridData', that didn't work either.  How can I get the grid to reload with new 

parameters?

Thanks!

                    try {
                        $incidentGrid.jqGrid('GridUnload');

                    catch (e) {
