What this bill does
S. 1258, the Police Reporting Information, Data, and Evidence Act (PRIDE Act), would require states and Indian tribes that receive federal Byrne grant funding to report detailed information to the U.S. Attorney General about use-of-force incidents involving law enforcement officers. This would include shootings of civilians by officers, shootings of officers by civilians, and other use-of-force incidents. Required data would cover the demographics of civilians involved, incident location and time, weapons used, injuries, number of people involved, and details about the circumstances, including de-escalation efforts. States and tribes would also need to set up reporting systems, conduct annual audits, and cross-check reports against public records. The Attorney General would publish aggregated data annually and issue guidance on data collection standards.
The bill primarily affects state and tribal governments and their law enforcement agencies, since compliance is tied to continued eligibility for Byrne grant funding—noncompliant jurisdictions could lose up to 10% of that funding, which would be redistributed to compliant states. It also creates a separate grant program allowing smaller law enforcement agencies (100 or fewer officers) to apply for federal funds to help meet reporting requirements, build public reporting systems, and provide training on de-escalation and related topics.
The bill was introduced on May 25, 2017, by Senator Cory Booker, with Senator Van Hollen as a cosponsor, and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. It did not receive a vote and did not advance during the 115th Congress.
