\u201cI am incredibly proud of the work that this department has done, in collaboration with our state, local, tribal and federal partners, to expand and improve data collection,\u201d said Attorney General Loretta Lynch. \u00a0\u201cThis work is vital. \u00a0It will allow the nation to have a more informed and robust dialogue regarding use of force; it will improve transparency; and it will help to build stronger bonds of trust between law enforcement and the people we serve. \u00a0The Department of Justice will continue to work alongside our partners to build on these efforts and to create a nationwide data collection system that is useful and meaningful for law enforcement and communities alike.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The update includes the submission of a report to Congress<\/a> outlining its plan for collecting data mandated by the Death in Custody Reporting Act or DCRA, and the publication of a notice<\/a> in the Federal Register on the details of the collection method going forward under the DCRA. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am incredibly proud of the work that this department has done, in collaboration with our state, local, tribal and federal partners, to expand and improve data collection,\u201d said Attorney General Lynch. \u00a0\u201cThis work is vital. \u00a0It will allow the nation to have a more informed and robust dialogue regarding use of force; it will improve transparency; and it will help to build stronger bonds of trust between law enforcement and the people we serve. \u00a0The Department of Justice will continue to work alongside our partners to build on these efforts and to create a nationwide data collection system that is useful and meaningful for law enforcement and communities alike.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2014, Congress passed the DCRA, which requires states and federal law enforcement agencies to submit data to the department about civilians who died during interactions with law enforcement or in their custody, whether resulting from use or force or some other manner of death, such as suicide or natural causes, and authorized the Attorney General to penalize non-compliant states.<\/span><\/p>\n

The DCRA does not impose a reporting requirement for \u00acnon-lethal\u00ac uses of force by law enforcement. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
