The Full Accountability in Arrest Reporting Emergency Act of 2026 mandates that officers of the Metropolitan Police Department document specific identifying information for all law enforcement personnel present at the scene of an arrest, as well as any use of force that occurs during the arrest. This documentation must be included in the supporting materials for the arrest, such as probable cause affidavits. The required information includes the names, badge numbers, and employing agencies of the officers present, details on any force used, and the number of unidentified officers at the scene, along with any instances where officers declined to disclose their identities.

The bill clarifies that it does not impose legal obligations on law enforcement officers outside the Metropolitan Police Department and does not create a private right of action. Additionally, any failure to comply with the documentation requirements cannot be used as evidence in criminal or civil proceedings. The act is set to take effect upon approval by the Mayor and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days, in accordance with the emergency act provisions of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.
