Joe Biden Signs Police Reform Order

President Joe Biden has signed an executive order for police reform on the two-year anniversary of George Floyd’s Death. The newly signed police reform’s primary purpose is to increase the accountability of federal law enforcement.

I just signed an Executive Order that delivers the most significant police reform in decades. It will increase accountability, ban chokeholds, restrict no-knock entries, and more for federal law enforcement officers — and it incentivizes state and local officers to do the same.

President Biden and Vice President Harris seem to be fed up with Congress for the lack of progress to get a police reform bill done a lot sooner.

Tune in as I sign a historic Executive Order to advance effective, accountable policing and strengthen public safety. https://t.co/x2AacCz8LX
