Justice council adds race expert to its roster
The Douglas County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council approved adding an expert on race and the criminal justice system to its membership. The group plans to ask the Douglas County Commission to appoint an additional member, with the Lawrence NAACP chapter to potentially suggest a candidate. Concerns included ensuring diverse input without limiting the process to a single organization.
