LANSING, Mich. — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is expanding the size of a state commission that sets certain standards for police.
Whitmer is adding the head of the Michigan Department of Civil Rights and three seats for people outside law enforcement.

Most of the current commissioners are affiliated with police agencies, police officer unions or police advocacy groups. Whitmer says adding “community voices” will strengthen communities.
