Bill overview
This bill aims to improve relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve by allowing local governments to use federal grant money to create task forces. These task forces would be made up of experts in law enforcement, civil rights, and civil liberties. The goal is to identify strategies that reduce crime and build trust between officers and the public. It specifically modifies a key section of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act to permit this use of grant funds.
