GovExec Daily: Federal Law Enforcement's Role and the Biden Executive Order
Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association President Larry Cosme joins the podcast to discuss the White House moves and the tragedy in Uvalde, Texas.
All federal law enforcement officers will soon have to wear body cameras after President Joe Biden signed an executive order this week. The order will also require the creation of a database of officer misconduct to which every federal law enforcement agency will contribute and that agencies must then use as part of their screening process for vetting personnel. This all comes in the wake of a school shooting in Texas that rocked the nation and federal officers were among the first to respond.
Larry Cosme is the National President of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association. He is currently a senior special agent for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He joined the show to talk about the Biden executive order and federal law enforcement.
