Justice Department Shuts Down Federal Police Misconduct Database

What Happened: Trump decommissioned the first nationwide database tracking federal law enforcement misconduct—an initiative originally launched under Biden. The database, which housed disciplinary records for nearly 150,000 officers from 90 agencies, has been deleted, halting public access to this critical tool.

Why It Matters: Removing the database undermines efforts to hold police accountable and prevents agencies from checking the backgrounds of officers moving between departments. This lack of transparency echoes authoritarian tactics, reducing oversight and endangering public safety and civil rights.
