Biden Administration Celebrates Success of Police Misconduct Database

The National Law Enforcement Accountability Database aims to enhance transparency and improve hiring practices across federal agencies.

The database was established through Executive Order 14074 in response to the 2020 George Floyd riots.
The National Law Enforcement Accountability Database (NLEAD) now contains 5,300 records of misconduct from over 4,300 law enforcement officers.
All 90 federal agencies employing law enforcement officers have reported data into NLEAD, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
Federal agencies have conducted thousands of NLEAD checks this year to prevent hiring or promoting officers with disqualifying histories.
The Biden-Harris Administration continues to advocate for the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act to extend similar reforms to state and local levels.
