The purpose of this legislation is to improve the policies governing the use of force by law enforcement officers within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). It aims to ensure that officers act in a manner that prioritizes deescalation and minimizes harm during confrontations. Key provisions of the law include a requirement for the Secretary of Homeland Security to create a comprehensive policy on the use of force. This policy must ensure that officers use only reasonable force based on the situation and attempt to identify themselves and issue warnings before using force.
