Trump suggested the national database, President Biden implemented it.
Biden's Executive Order (EO) 14074 established a national database of police misconduct and required all federal law enforcement agencies to participate and use the database to screen personnel.
It also mandated body-worn camera policies and the expedited public release of footage in cases of serious bodily injury or deaths in custody for all federal agencies.
- It banned the use of chokeholds and carotid restraints "unless deadly force is authorized" and restricted the use of no-knock entries.
- It ensured "timely and thorough investigations and consistent discipline."
And: It restricted the transfer or federal purchases of military equipment "that belongs on a battlefield, not on our streets."
- It also tracked data on use-of-force incidents.
