The Department of Justice suspended its National Law Enforcement Accountability Database last year after Trump issued an order rolling back Biden-era measures on police reform, diversity initiatives and more. State and local law enforcement agencies used the information in NLEAD to assess their legal risk when hiring former federal law enforcement officers who had been involved in misconduct. Advocates have questioned the end of federal data collection amid the uptick in deaths under federal law enforcement supervision. Almost 200 Democratic lawmakers in a previous session of Congress attempted to establish a national law enforcement misconduct tracking system that is codified in law — but those efforts haven’t gone anywhere. The Federal Bureau of Investigation tracks instances where federal law enforcement officers use force, which includes data from 87 different federal law enforcement entities.
