The task force officers are members of local and state police departments who work with federal agents at field offices across the country to investigate violent crime, gangs, drug smuggling and terrorism as well as arrest fugitives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Justice Department\u2019s rules had long prohibited federal agents from wearing cameras and barred local officers from wearing them during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/federal-oversight\/doj-fbi\/2020\/04\/29\/us-attorneys-announce-gateway-strike-force-to-target-gangs-cartels\/\" target=_blank>joint operations<\/a>, a policy that strained its relationship with some law enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Months before the pilot program was announced, Atlanta\u2019s police chief withdrew city police officers from federal task forces over the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attorney General William Barr said in October that the program had taken into account \u201cthe interests and priorities of all the law enforcement agencies involved in federal task forces.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pilot program was set to go into effect in several U.S. cities in November 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The review comes months after the department announced a pilot program allowing \u2014 for the
