Sandy Hook Advisory Commission

The Sandy Hook Advisory Commission was established in response to the tragic school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in December 2012, where 26 people lost their lives. Comprising experts from various fields, the commission’s goal was to analyze the circumstances of the shooting and recommend improvements in school safety, mental health services, and gun violence prevention. Their findings aimed to help lawmakers create policies that would prevent similar tragedies in the future, focusing on enhancing community resilience and addressing the root causes of violence.
