© 2022 MICHIGAN RADIO91.7 Ann Arbor/Detroit 104.1 Grand Rapids91.3 Port Huron 89.7 Lansing 91.1 FlintPlay Live Radio0:000:00Available On Air StationsMichigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is proposing statewide changes to policing oversight, to reduce excessive use of force incidents.She says the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards issues licenses for police, but needs more authority to take those licenses away."And I think it's one of the reasons why you see officers that have committed numerous acts of misconduct and they still have their license," says Nessel. "And also officers that get terminated by a particular agency, they're so easily able to just go to another agency because they still have their license."Nessel is also proposing making police disciplinary records available to the public.&nbsp;&nbsp;The other proposals include:&nbsp;Nessel calls the proposals a start, and says she'll be engaging in conversations with members of the Legislature, community groups, advocacy groups, law enforcement agencies and other relevant stakeholders to discuss these proposals&nbsp;in addition to other potential changes.She says such changes will be in the best interest of law enforcement officers themselves."Everybody wants to blame the police, but I think in a lot of ways it's those of us who are supposed to be overseeing the police," she says. "We're just not providing them with the tools that they need to be great at their jobs."Tracy Samilton covers energy and transportation, including the auto industry and the business response to climate change for Michigan Radio. She began her career at Michigan Radio as an intern, where she was promptly “bitten by the radio bug,” and never recovered.Latest StoriesRelated Content
