In response to the tragic shooting of Sonya Massey by former Sangamon County Deputy Sean Grayson, the newly formed Sonya Massey Commission aims to address systemic issues in law enforcement and community relations in Sangamon County. Co-chaired by Dr. Jerry Kruse, Pastor T. Ray McJunkins, and Nina Harris, the Commission will engage the community and develop solutions to enhance trust and safety. Meanwhile, family attorneys, including Benjamin Crump, are advocating for new legislation, the 'Sonya Massey Act', to prevent the hiring of officers with red flags in their backgrounds, as Grayson had multiple infractions and disciplinary issues. They propose a national database for tracking police misconduct and a waiting period between jobs for thorough background checks. Sheriff Jack Campbell announced his retirement following scrutiny over Grayson’s hiring, with Massey's family viewing this as a necessary first step in accountability. Overall, the call for reform aims to ensure that no officer with a concerning history is allowed to carry a badge and weapon again.
