US President Joe Biden signed an executive order to reform the security services on the second anniversary of the killing of African-American citizen George Floyd at the hands of a white police officer.

“I just signed an executive order to implement the most significant police reform in decades, which will increase the accountability of federal law enforcement officers, ban chokeholds, limit the ability to enter buildings without prior notice, and much more,” the statement said. The one that was signed “incentivizes security officials at the state and municipal levels” to take the same measures.

The White House press office previously reported that Biden’s order also provides for, among other things, the creation of a national database of police misconduct, obliges the wearing of body cameras and involves the approval of new standards that limit the use of force. corrects and expands restrictions on the purchase of military equipment by law enforcement agencies.
