FBI Postpones Use-Of-Force Data Release

The FBI has delayed the release of national data on police use of force due to low participation rates. Only 25% of agencies are participating, with significant gaps in states like Indiana and New York. Major agencies like the NYPD and Miami Dade Police are not contributing, hindering transparency. Efforts are underway to increase participation, with some states like Montana leading in data disclosure. The FBI has launched a campaign to encourage more agencies to report, emphasizing the importance of transparency in building public trust.
