The commission will be composed of the Secretary of Public Safety and Security, the Commissioner of the Department of Public Safety, the Superintendent of the State Police, the Attorney General, one representative from the House, one from the Senate, and an executive liaison from the Governor's office, all serving in their official capacities or as designated representatives.
