Bill overview
This bill, the DHS Use of Force Oversight Act, requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to develop and implement a comprehensive policy on the use of force by its law enforcement officers and agents. The policy must prioritize de-escalation techniques, mandate specialized training, and establish internal review councils to analyze use-of-force incidents and improve practices. It also mandates regular reporting of use-of-force data to the public, with detailed breakdowns by component and location, to promote transparency and accountability.
