Summary
The Law Enforcement Trust and Integrity Act of 2021 aims to modernize policing by establishing national accreditation standards and increasing federal oversight of local law enforcement agencies. The bill requires the Department of Justice to develop uniform professional guidelines, provides grants to help local departments meet these standards, and creates a task force to better track and investigate reports of officer misconduct. For the public, the bill increases transparency by requiring agencies to report detailed data on use-of-force incidents, traffic stops, and searches, while also funding pilot programs designed to improve community-police relations.
