"December 2018."

"Congress enacted the Death in Custody Reporting Act of 2013 (DCRA) to address the lack of reliable information about law enforcement-related deaths in correctional institutions. DCRA requires state and federal law enforcement agencies to report to the Attorney General information regarding the death of any person who is (1) detained by law enforcement, (2) under arrest, (3) in the process of being arrested, (4) en route to be incarcerated or detained, or (5) incarcerated at any correctional facility. To encourage state reporting, DCRA authorizes the Attorney General to withhold up to 10 percent of Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program funds from states that do not comply with DCRA reporting requirements. The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) conducted this review to evaluate the U.S. Department of Justice's (Department, DOJ), progress in implementing DCRA. We assessed the Department's management of the federal DCRA data collection, as well as its preparations for collecting state-level DCRA data, from the law's enactment in December 2014 through July 2018." -- Executive summary.
