Before and after
Before the order
Federal policy debates concerned police accreditation, use-of-force standards and sharing of officer misconduct information across jurisdictions.
After the order
EO 14074 expressly revoked EO 13929 in May 2022 and set out a different federal policing framework.
The original order instructed DOJ to develop accreditation incentives and information systems; it did not impose a single nationwide police code. EO 14074 revoked it, and subsequent policies require separate assessment.
