Bill overview
This bill, the Promoting Fair and Effective Policing Through Research Act, aims to improve policing practices by increasing research into the causes and consequences of police use of force, as well as the effectiveness of various technologies. It directs the National Science Foundation to fund social and behavioral research on policing, establish partnerships between researchers and law enforcement agencies, and conduct a study on promising policing policies. Additionally, it tasks the National Institute of Standards and Technology with developing standards for biometric identification systems and the Department of Homeland Security with reducing excessive force through training and technology development. The bill seeks to ensure fairness and efficacy in policing while addressing potential biases in technology.
