The United States Secret Service (USSS or Secret Service) Use of Force reporting application system, hereafter called eForce, allows USSS law enforcement personnel to input incident data when an agency officer or agent uses any level of force beyond compliant handcuffing, verbal commands, or de-escalation techniques. The system also maintains data on certain incidents in which force is not used against a person (e.g., a Taser is drawn from its holster, but it is not used). eForce makes it possible for the Secret Service Office of Strategic Planning and Policy/Enterprise Analytics Division to compile use of force data and report and share it within the agency, as appropriate, with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and, consistent with Section 6 of Executive Order 14074, “Advancing Effective, Accountable Policing and Criminal Justice Practices to Enhance Public Trust and Public Safety,” with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The Secret Service is conducting this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) because eForce maintains personally identifiable information about individuals and Secret Service employees involved in reportable use of force incidents.
