  • Federal and state data systems: It would direct the Department of Justice to study merging the Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted Data Collection with 09C justifiable-homicide reports, to evaluate adding a new category for non-crime but trauma-inducing incidents, and to assess expanding FBI Criminal Justice Information Services data fields.
