The sponsor's argument

Why Robert Jackson says this is needed

In 2015, then-FBI Director James Comey relayed frustration that it was easier to get the latest box office data on popular movies than getting data on law enforcement use-of-force incidents. (1) He even went so far as to say it was an, "embarrassment and ridiculous." Six years later, data on use-of-force incidents still remains largely unavailable. Even after a presidential order and congressional demands instructing law enforcement departments to report use-of-force incidents to the FBI, only 27% of police departments nationwide have reported such incidents to the national use-of-force database. (2) As the nation reflects on the many deaths of black, indigenous, and people of color by the hands of law enforcement officers, accountability and reform demands transparen- cy. This bill provides the mechanism for creating much needed transpar- ency for structural change to be made in law enforcement.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
