George Floyd Law Enforcement and Integrity Act of 2020
STATUS
House of Representatives: Introduced and referred to the House Judiciary Committee on June 4, 2020
Analysis
H.R. 7100 would “encourage greater community accountability of law enforcement agencies,” through the development of standards and procedures for: use of police force, civilian review, data collection and transparency, early warning and related intervention programs, etc; the establishment of grant programs for “effective community and problem solving strategies”, the study law enforcement organization management, as well as the training, recruitment, and oversight of police officers. It would also create protocols for performance evaluation for tasks delimited by the bill and discipline for transgressions. It would also commit funds toward the streamlining of communication over claims made against law enforcement officers and to addressing police misconduct through the DOJ’s Community Relations Service.
Which human? Whose security?
This bill would build trust and structures of accountability between community and law enforcement while also bolstering the procedural standards by which police must abide.
“Today with the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, the House is honoring his life and the lives of all those killed by police brutality and pledging: Never again.”
