The Biden Administration on Policing: What's the Verdict?

Rising homicide rates, challenges in fully staffing police departments, and a shortfall in trust between some communities and law enforcement agencies have focused attention on whether and how the federal government should respond. This session will examine the Biden administration’s record on policing during its first year in office and, most importantly, the path forward. In light of stalled congressional talks on policing legislation and constitutional limits on federal power in this traditionally local area, what can and should the administration do in areas such as pattern and practice investigations, use of force, certification and de-certification, training, and qualified immunity?
