- Summary:
- On May 25, 2022, Executive Order 14,074 required the heads of federal law enforcement agencies, including DHS, to ensure their agencies' use of force policies reflect principles of valuing and preserving human life and meet or exceed DOJ's use of force policy. This report discusses DHS's use of force policies, training, data collection and analysis, and how DHS reviews incidents. GAO is making two recommendations to DHS to (1) provide guidance on how its component agencies submit data to DHS for the range of scenarios when force was used multiple times, and (2) develop and implement a plan with time frames for analyzing the use of force data its agencies submit.
- Contents:
- Background

- DHS agency data undercount uses of force, and DHS does not have a plan to analyze the data it collects

- Conclusions

- Agency comments
- Appendices.
