国土安全部部长亚历杭德罗·马约卡斯在接受美国广播公司新闻采访时说，国土安全部周三宣布成立执法协调委员会，这是“将执法最佳实践制度化”的一项努力。
马约卡斯说，由马约卡斯担任主席的LECC是“有史以来第一个”全部门机构，将作为美国海关和边境保护局、移民和海关执法局等部门的管理机构。
在他2009年开始的前一段时间里，执法培训和使用武力政策的最佳实践一直是马约卡斯的工作主题。
“在我看来，我们正在给(执法政策)带来更大程度的组织性、凝聚力，”马约卡斯说。“执法协调委员会不仅由执行执法任务的机构组成，还包括我们部门内的办公室，这些办公室也有重要的股票监督办公室，例如公民权利和公民自由办公室、隐私办公室和监察长办公室。”
马约卡斯说，周三宣布的委员会没有受到骑马的边境巡逻人员攻击试图越过南部边境的移民的照片的影响。
“这些努力早在有争议的事件发生之前就开始了，”Mayorkas说。
“一段时间以来，我们收到了更广泛的询问，关于我们的培训，我们的做法和程序是包括使用武力的政策...当我们就这些询问进行沟通时，我们觉得为了透明起见，直接与公众沟通是合适的，”他说。
马约卡斯说，他对何时完成对骑马边境巡逻人员的调查没有时间观念。
他说:“我知道调查人员理解彻底和快速行动的必要性，他们正在独立进行调查。
Mayorkas解释说，该委员会的结果和最佳做法将被纳入该部的联邦执法培训中心。
许多州和地方执法机构都在培训中心接受培训，部长这样说，虽然没有直接向地方部门申请，但他说，他希望他们能够从该部门获得最佳做法。
马约尔卡斯还表示，该委员会将调查国土安全部各机构的政策，以确保各机构之间的任何执法政策差异都是“有意”的，以满足该机构的需求。
Mayorkas表示，该部门将“谨慎地加快”这些政策的启动和运行，并与公众分享，但没有提供任何具体的时间表。
New DHS commission will look at best law enforcement practices: Mayorkas
The Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday announced the formation of the Law Enforcement Coordination Council -- an effort to "institutionalize best practices in law enforcement," Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in an interview with ABC News.
The LECC, chaired by Mayorkas, is the "first ever" department-wide body that will serve as a governing organization for the department's agencies like the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Mayorkas said.
During his previous stint at the department starting in 2009, best practices for law enforcement training and use-of-force policies have been a subject of Mayorkas' portfolio.
"We are bringing a greater, in my opinion, a greater degree of organization, cohesion to [law enforcement policies]," Mayorkas said. "And the Law Enforcement Coordinating Council is comprised not only of the agencies that perform the law enforcement mission, but also offices within our department that have significant equities oversight offices as well, for example, such as the Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, the office of privacy and the office of the inspector general."
The commission being announced Wednesday was not influenced by photos of border patrol agents on horseback aggresively pursuing migrants attempting to cross the southern border, Mayorkas said.
"These efforts began well before the incident at issue," Mayorkas said.
"We have received broader inquires for some time now, with respect to our training, our practices and procedures are policies to include use of force ... and as we are communicating in response to those inquiries, we felt it appropriate in the service of transparency, to communicate directly to the public," he said.
Mayorkas said that he doesn't have a sense of timing on when the investigation into the border patrol agents on horseback will be complete.
"I know that the investigators understand the need to move both thoroughly and quickly, and they're conducting the investigation independently," he said.
Mayorkas explained that the results of the commission and best practices will be integrated into the department's federal law enforcement training center.
Many state and local law enforcement agencies train at the training center, the Secretary said so, while not directly applying to local departments, he said his hope is they will be able to receive best practices from the department.
Mayorkas also said that the commission will look into various Department of Homeland Security agency policies, to ensure that any law enforcement policy discrepancies between agencies is “intentional” to fit the needs of that agency.
Mayorkas said the department will move with "deliberate speed" in getting these policies up and running and sharing them with the public but did not offer any concrete timeline.
