Trump Shuts Down Police Accountability Database
The National Law Enforcement Accountability Database was something he himself proposed in 2020 and Biden created in March 2022. Mind you it wasn’t launched until December 2023 and it only tracked federal LEOs across federal agencies and only as far back as 2017 but it was a good start towards police accountability, but now its gone because government transparency and accountability is “woke” now.

The NLEAD would allow the public to know about federal LEOs with prior:
- criminal convictions
- suspensions
- terminations due to misconduct
- lawsuits against them
- resignations while under investigation for misconduct
- criminal and civil complaints/li>
- disciplinary action taken against them
Now the bureau of justice statistics will only publish anonymized data from the NLEAD
