The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy is requesting state and local law enforcement agencies submit information on their current data practices for a report to President Joe Biden following an executive order aimed at increasing trust in policing and the criminal justice system.
The information request stems from an executive order Biden signed last May on accountability in law enforcement. The order established a working group on criminal justice statistics, and the group was tasked with developing a report on current data collection, use and data transparency practices with respect to state, local, tribal and territorial law enforcement activities.
