The executive order is the fallback position for the administration after Congress failed to agree last year on a package of reforms dubbed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.
The measure is a response to public outcry in recent years over certain police tactics.
The president can't order local police agencies to follow suit, however. Instead, the executive order calls for incentives for changes by local departments, including the possibility that the new standards be a condition for some federal grants.The order also directs the Justice Department to create a new"national law enforcement accountability database," which would keep track of substantiated misconduct claims and disciplinary records of officers.
