Bill overview
The COPS Accountability Act of 2020 aims to increase transparency and accountability in policing by linking funding for the COPS ON THE BEAT grant program to the use of body cameras. This bill requires states, local governments, and tribal governments to establish a plan to implement body camera policies and then gradually increase the percentage of uniformed officers required to wear cameras while on duty. The bill also mandates an annual report to Congress on jurisdictions’ compliance with these requirements.
