Secondly, Trump will require local law enforcement agencies receiving Department of Justice grants to "return to proven policing measures such as stop-and-frisk, strictly enforcing existing gun laws, cracking down on the open use of illegal drugs, and cooperating with ICE to arrest and deport criminal aliens."

I don’t want the federal government dictating law enforcement tactics for every jurisdiction in the country.

No way no how should local police departments be "federalized." That is a dangerous slippery slope that would not end well.

If Trump wants to tweak their federal funding, it should be based on an performance awards manner, where better performing departments receive more funding, but not enough to starve off the lower performing ones completely, but leave the tactics to the local authorities. THAT would lead to the lower ones performing better, for survival, as well as innovation and across the board.
