() The first database to track misconduct of federal officers has been shut down by President Donald Trump.

The National Law Enforcement Accountability Database was first proposed by Trump during his first term in 2020 in the wake of George Floyd’s death. It wasn’t until 2022 that the database was created under an executive order from former President Joe Biden.

The U.S. Justice Department confirmed the website was taken down and said that agencies could not look for or add any information to the database.

As of September 2024, there were 4,790 records of federal police misconduct between 2018 and 2023 in the database, according to a DOJ report released in December.

The removal of the database comes as the Trump administration looks to cut costs within the federal government.
