It noted its effectiveness in improving transparency and multiple other enhancements in police departments nationwide that the administration said were due to the database. The release cited thousands of incidents of police misconduct that law enforcement agencies could now access to screen candidates for employment because of the NLEAD. This included misconduct incidents of over 4000 current and former law enforcement officials.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;As of last month, every one of the 90 federal agencies that employs law enforcement officers, consistent with relevant collective bargaining agreements, has reported into NLEAD as required by the Executive Order,&rdquo; read the release. &ldquo;The database contains 5,300 records covering misconduct for more than 4,300 past and present federal officers over the last 7 years.
