proposes to establish this system of

strengthened practices in the hiring,

enforcement officers. On May 25, 2022, 

the President issued an Executive Order, 

Advancing Effective, Accountable 

Policing and Criminal Justice Paractices 

to Enhance Public Trust and Public 

Safety (the ‘‘Executive Order’’). Section 

5 of the Executive Order directs the 

Attorney General to establish a National 

Law Enforcement Accountability 

Database (the ‘‘NLEAD’’) documenting 

instances of law enforcement officer 

misconduct, commendations, and 

awards. The Attorney General shall also 

ensure that the NLEAD is consistent 

with all applicable laws, including the 

Privacy Act, and respects appropriate 

due process protections for law 

enforcement officers.

552a(e)(4) and (11), this notice is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

Executive Order 14074, the President 

declared a policy that strives to 

‘‘strengthen public safety and the bonds 

of trust between law enforcement and 

the community and build a criminal 

justice system that respects the dignity 

and equality of all in America.’’ As 

explained in the Executive Order, one of 

the many ways to advance that policy is 

to ‘‘commit to new practices in law 

enforcement recruitment, hiring, 

promotion, and retention, as well as 

training, oversight, and accountability.’’ 

In furtherance of these goals, Section 5 

of the Executive Order directs the 

Attorney General to establish the 

NLEAD for official records documenting 

law enforcement officer misconduct, 

commendations, and awards. Section 5 

provides that the NLEAD include, to the 

maximum extent permitted by law, the 

following categories of records 

documenting: criminal convictions; 

suspension of a law enforcement 

officer’s enforcement authorities, such 

as de-certification; terminations; civil 

judgments related to official duties, 

including amounts if publicly available; 

resignations or retirements while under 

investigation for serious misconduct;
