Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced the names of 15 members of his Sandy Hook Advisory Commission Tuesday. Last Thursday he announced the creation of the group tasked with developing policy recommendations regarding gun violence prevention, mental health, and school safety.

Last week, Malloy named Hamden Mayor Scott Jackson the chairman of the group, which he expects to issue a report by March 15. On Tuesday he announced the other 15 members, who are a mix of education and mental health professionals, as well as security and public safety officials.

“I’ve asked this group to join Chairman Scott Jackson so they can begin the task of taking a broad, systemic approach in crafting the recommendations that will lead to comprehensive legislative and policy changes that must occur following the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School,”  Malloy said in a statement.  “This includes ensuring that our mental health system can reach those that need its help, looking for ways to make sure our gun laws are as tight as they are reasonable, and making certain that our law enforcement has the tools it needs to protect public safety, particularly in our schools.”
