With an executive order set to be unveiled tomorrow, Trump is expected to lay out the case for the creation of a national database of police misconduct. The order is designed to spur local reforms while drawing contrasts with liberal activists
President Donald Trump hopes to acknowledge a nationwide uproar over police brutality while preventing rifts with police and other law enforcement groups integral to his political future.
With an executive order set to be unveiled at a White House event on Tuesday, the president is expected to lay out the case for the creation of a national database of police misconduct, so officers with a history of overly aggressive behavior cannot simply move to another department or state to escape scrutiny, according to a senior administration official. The order will also urge social workers and mental health professionals to work more closely alongside frontline officers.
In an unrelated White House event on Monday, Trump said the overall goal for the executive order is the desire to maintain “law and order” as well as “justice” and “safety.” “I think this will be very comprehensive,” Trump added, even as the exact details of the order were still being worked out. Trump aides and allies view policing as an area where Republicans can draw sharp contrasts with Democrats ahead of the general election. Part of that contrast is acknowledging the killing of George Floyd and several other innocent African Americans at the hands of what the White House views as rogue police officers. The approach is built on recommending tweaks to policing while leaving wholesale changes to mayors and other local government officials.
“The reality is you have to respect our federalist system,” said Ken Blackwell, the former mayor of Cincinnati, former Ohio secretary of state and a longtime conservative leader and Trump supporter. “Safe streets cannot be guaranteed from the Oval Office or the governor’s mansion. That is local leadership.”
