Police commission names Scott Longton chairperson
Summary
The Grosse Ile Police Commission unanimously appointed Scott Longton as chairperson during its Feb. 18 meeting, after a brief nomination and acceptance.
Scott Longton was unanimously appointed chairperson of the Grosse Ile Police Commission at the commission’s Feb. 18 regular meeting.
Commissioner Margaret (name not specified) nominated Longton, calling him “our favorite lawyer,” and sought a second. Longton accepted the nomination, saying, “I am,” and later told the commission he was “looking forward to trying to move the department forward as we have been.” The motion passed with all commissioners saying “Aye.”
The appointment followed routine approval of the meeting agenda, January minutes and the commission calendar for 2025–26. Those procedural items were moved and approved by voice vote prior to the chair appointment.
The commission did not record a roll-call vote in the meeting transcript; the record shows unanimous voice approval. No other nominations were offered. The meeting proceeded to department reports after Longton’s acceptance remarks.
The commission did not provide additional details in the meeting packet about an official handover schedule or changes to committee assignments tied to the chair appointment.
