SEC. 115. ATTORNEY GENERAL TO CONDUCT STUDY. 
(a) STUDY.— 
(1) IN GENERAL.—The Attorney General shall 
conduct a nationwide study of the prevalence and ef-
fect of any law, rule, or procedure that allows a law 
enforcement officer to delay the response to ques-
tions posed by a local internal affairs officer, or re-
view board on the investigative integrity and pros-
ecution of law enforcement misconduct, including 
pre-interview warnings and termination policies. 
(2) INITIAL ANALYSIS.—The Attorney General

statutes to determine whether, at a threshold level, 
the effect of this type of rule or procedure raises 
material investigatory issues that could impair or 
hinder a prompt and thorough investigation of pos-
sible misconduct, including criminal conduct, that 
would justify a wider inquiry.
