The Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022 is a piece of legislation passed by the District of Columbia Council that seeks to make significant changes to the policing and justice system in the District. The Act includes provisions such as limiting the use of force by law enforcement officers, implementing new training requirements for officers, and establishing a civilian oversight board to review complaints against police officers.

The resolution is currently being debated in Congress, with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle expressing strong opinions on the issue. It remains to be seen whether the resolution will ultimately be passed and what impact it will have on policing and justice reform efforts in the District of Columbia.
