Bill overview
The Police Reform Act of 2020 aims to improve police practices and accountability across the United States. It requires states and local governments receiving federal funding to adopt specific use-of-force training policies, establish review boards to investigate police misconduct, and revoke certifications for officers who violate standards. The bill also mandates de-escalation and mental health crisis intervention training for officers and promotes the development of a national law enforcement academy to standardize best practices. Finally, it establishes a process for investigating incidents of deadly force by federal law enforcement.
