The police reform decree that US President Donald Trump will sign on June 16 will require stricter rules for the use of force by police, TASS reported referring to a representative of the Washington administration of high rank.

The decree will lead to an improvement in the exchange of information between government agencies and will help not to hire people to the police without a full check of their past.

It is expected that when Trump signs the decree, policemen and family members of those killed by the police will be present. The president also intends to urge the US Congress to consider police reform through a legislative initiative.

On police reforms

Trump said earlier the US authorities will not dissolve the police or reduce its funding. Calls to cut police funding are often heard during US protests over the death of African American George Floyd. Three police officers handcuffed Floyd, threw him to the ground and apprehended him, and one of them pressed his knee on the man's neck. All four police officers involved in the detention have been fired and charged.

Democrats in the US Congress introduced a bill aimed at conducting massive police reform. The initiative, in particular, prohibits policemen from using asphyxiation techniques, creates a national database to track police misconduct, and also prohibits in some cases the issuance of warrants that allow policemen to break into a house without warning. As part of the proposed reform, the responsibility of the police is increasing, including for acts of violence and arbitrariness against suspects.
