| Subject: Wasted space: 'Justice' Department to Study How Often poLICE Use Force Thu Oct 13, 2016 9:37 pm | |
| The federal government plans to launch a national online database to begin tracking how and when law enforcement officials use force in their interactions with civilians, even when those interactions do not lead to death. U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch will discuss the announcement at an event at Georgetown University on Thursday evening.
Senior justice department officials say the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s data-collection pilot program, known as the National Use of Force Data Collection, is expected to begin early next year. The bureau is currently seeking input on the pilot program from local officials and civil rights organizations. The Justice Department plans to reach out to the largest law enforcement agencies; the FBI; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; the Drug Enforcement Administration; and the U.S. Marshall Service to join the pilot study data from which will be used to evaluate the program’s effectiveness. At this point, however, the Justice Department has not reached out to any agencies and inclusion in the pilot program will be voluntary.
