WASHINGTON 鈥� U.S. Customs and Border Protection released today on use-of-force incidents for fiscal year 2015-2016, claiming a reduction in incidents but not addressing necessary reforms.

Chris Rickerd, policy counsel with the 老澳门开奖结果, had this reaction:

鈥淭his data is welcome but raises several alarms. First, Border Patrol defines use of force more narrowly than the Justice Department, leading to an undercount. Second, the large, steady number of 鈥榣ess lethal鈥� force incidents demands more context: Why hasn鈥檛 the agency鈥檚 new emphasis on de-escalation had a larger effect and what disciplinary consequences have resulted from force incidents that violate policy?

鈥淔inally, the Border Patrol鈥檚 propensity to frequently use force underscores our disappointment at its slow pace of accountability reforms. Body-worn cameras within a strong policy framework are badly overdue and an independent law-enforcement panel鈥檚 June 2015 use-of-force recommendations must be implemented immediately.鈥�
