Bill overview
The Police Protection Act of 2019 aims to increase transparency and accountability in law enforcement by requiring federal law enforcement officers to report injuries or deaths involving individuals in their custody within 24 hours. The bill also reduces federal grant funding to state and local governments that don’t have similar reporting requirements in place. It establishes a criminal penalty for federal officers who fail to report accurately or at all, and mandates an investigation by the Department of Justice in cases of serious injury or death.
