Bill overview
The PEACE Act of 2022 aims to reform how federal law enforcement officers use force. It establishes stricter standards for both less-lethal and lethal force, requiring officers to exhaust all reasonable alternatives and prioritize de-escalation. The bill also mandates clear verbal warnings before using force and directs the Attorney General to provide detailed guidance on appropriate use of force, considering vulnerable populations. Finally, it includes provisions to limit federal funding to states that don't align their own use-of-force policies with the Act’s standards.
