President Joe Biden is set to issue an executive order to revise use-of-force policies for federal law enforcement on Wednesday’s two-year anniversary of the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police.
The order would require a review and modification of federal law-enforcement policies, including restrictions on no-knock warrants and choke holds, and would encourage local police agencies to adopt restrictions on those practices through awarding of grants, according to a person familiar with the issue.
It will also include guidance on responding to mental-health crises and create a central database for officer misconduct records, according to the person, who asked for anonymity because the plan hasn’t been publicly released.
