The U.S. Justice Department has removed the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database, which tracked misconduct by federal law enforcement officers. Initially proposed by President Donald Trump in 2020 following the murder of George Floyd, the database was officially launched under Joe Biden but was decommissioned after Trump revoked Biden’s executive order.
The database, which contained 4,790 records of misconduct from 2018 to 2023, was taken down, as first reported by the Washington Post. It aimed to track excessive force, wrongful conduct, and disciplinary actions against federal officers. However, its removal does not impact the National Decertification Index, a registry of state and local police officers stripped of their certification for misconduct.
Trump, who returned to the White House in January 2025, also pardoned two police officers convicted in the 2020 killing of Karon Hylton-Brown, a 20-year-old Black man. His administration’s move to dismantle the database aligns with broader shifts in federal law enforcement oversight.
The removal of the database has sparked debate over police accountability and transparency, with critics arguing it limits oversight, while supporters claim it reduces administrative burdens. As the Justice Department moves forward, the decision raises questions about the future of federal law enforcement reforms in the U.S.
