The Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards (MCOLES) recommended that the following laws will mandate revocation of license if a law enforcement officer is convicted of these misdemeanors. The recommendations were passed into law by the Legislature. MCOLES is comprised of administrative officials from local police and sheriff departments, the State Police, prosecuting attorneys, the Attorney General’s Office, and four police unions.

It is important to note that only one commissioner voted “no” on recommending these changes to the Legislature. That commissioner was the POAM designate, Legislative Director and Business Agent Kenneth E. Grabowski, who argued that these types of issues should be handled through the grievance and arbitration procedure called for in local collective bargaining agreements.
