The database included information of current and former federal law enforcement officers with records relating to: criminal convictions, suspensions, terminations related to misconduct, civil judgements, resignations or retirements while under investigation for serious misconduct, sustained complaints or records of disciplinary actions, and commendation and awards.

The executive order also directed the U. S. Attorney General to publish a report with this collected data at least once a year.

The White House sent a statement to the Washington Post, defending the change and calling the database “full of woke, anti-police concepts that make communities less safe like a call for ‘equitable’ policing and addressing ‘systemic racism in our criminal justice system.’”

The now rescinded executive order banned chokeholds and carotid restraints, provided “clear guidance for use-of-force standards,” developed “anti-bias” training and guidance, restricted no-knock entries, supported “officer wellness,” strengthened recruitment and hiring, and shared federal best practices with other law enforcement agencies.

Donald Trump shut down the nation's first database tracking federal police officer misconduct, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics.

The National Law Enforcement Accountability Database was originally proposed by Trump in 2020 amid the killing of George Floyd, but didn’t actually launch until former President Joe Biden signed an executive order two years later, according to the Washington Post who first reported this story.

The EO aimed to “commit to new practices in law enforcement recruitment, hiring, promotion, and retention, as well as training, oversight, and accountability,” according to the DOJ Statistics.

The site now reads "EO #14074 was revoked by Trump. As a result, the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database is no longer active.”
