Will Trump Enforce The Tough New Rules On Reporting Police Killings?

Description

According to Ben Casselman a writer for 538The Justice Department is taking steps to require law-enforcement agencies across the nation to report how many people their officers kill — but it will be up to the Trump administration to enforce the new rules. His colleague Carl Bialik explained yesterday, government data on police killings is a mess. Official estimates, which are based on voluntary reports from police departments, miss roughly half of all arrest-related deaths. That kind of painstaking process wouldn’t be necessary, however, if law-enforcement agencies were better about reporting deaths. The Penalties for Law Enforcement Agencies that don't report their deaths will be enforced at the discretion of the Attorney General, and past efforts to get data on police killings have struggled due to poor enforcement.
