Bill overview
The Justice Act aims to reform policing practices, enhance accountability, and promote transparency. It provides funding for state and local grants, including those supporting body-worn cameras and information sharing systems. The bill establishes new federal offenses for falsifying police reports and engaging in sexual acts under color of law, and mandates training on de-escalation tactics and duty to intervene. Additionally, it creates the National Criminal Justice Commission to develop best practices for policing and addresses the issue of lynching through specific legislation.
