                Executive Order 13684 of December 18, 2014

                
Establishment of the President's Task Force on 
                21st Century Policing

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, and in order to identify the best means to 
                provide an effective partnership between law 
                enforcement and local communities that reduces crime 
                and increases trust, it is hereby ordered as follows:

                Section 1. Establishment. There is established a 
                President's Task Force on 21st Century Policing (Task 
                Force).

                Sec. 2. Membership. (a) The Task Force shall be 
                composed of not more than eleven members appointed by 
                the President. The members shall include distinguished 
                individuals with relevant experience or subject-matter 
                expertise in law enforcement, civil rights, and civil 
                liberties.

                    (b) The President shall designate two members of 
                the Task Force to serve as Co-Chairs.

                Sec. 3. Mission. (a) The Task Force shall, consistent 
                with applicable law, identify best practices and 
                otherwise make recommendations to the President on how 
                policing practices can promote effective crime 
                reduction while building public trust.

                    (b) The Task Force shall be solely advisory and 
                shall submit a report to the President by March 2, 
                2015.

                Sec. 4. Administration. (a) The Task Force shall hold 
                public meetings and engage with Federal, State, tribal, 
                and local officials, technical advisors, and 
                nongovernmental organizations, among others, as 
                necessary to carry out its mission.

                    (b) The Director of the Office of Community 
                Oriented Policing Services shall serve as Executive 
                Director of the Task Force and shall, as directed by 
                the Co-Chairs, convene regular meetings of the Task 
                Force and supervise its work.
                    (c) In carrying out its mission, the Task Force 
                shall be informed by, and shall strive to avoid 
                duplicating, the efforts of other governmental 
                entities.
                    (d) The Department of Justice shall provide 
                administrative services, funds, facilities, staff, 
                equipment, and other support services as may be 
                necessary for the Task Force to carry out its mission 
                to the extent permitted by law and subject to the 
                availability of appropriations.
                    (e) Members of the Task Force shall serve without 
                any additional compensation for their work on the Task 
                Force, but shall be allowed travel expenses, including 
                per diem, to the extent permitted by law for persons 
                serving intermittently in the Government service (5 
                U.S.C. 5701-5707).

                Sec. 5. Termination. The Task Force shall terminate 30 
                days after the President requests a final report from 
                the Task Force.

                Sec. 6. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order 
                shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to a department, agency, or the head 
thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget 
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

                    (b) This order is not intended to, and does not, 
                create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, 
                enforceable at law or in equity by any party against 
                the United States, its departments, agencies, or 
                entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any 
                other person.
                    (c) Insofar as the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 
                as amended (5 U.S.C. App.) (the ``Act'') may apply to 
                the Task Force, any functions of the President under 
                the Act, except for those in section 6 of the Act, 
                shall be performed by the Attorney General.
