“Police recruits spend 7x as many hours training to shoot than they do training to de-escalate situations.” & “Black people were more likely to be killed by police, more likely to be unarmed and less likely to be threatening someone when killed."

Mapping Police Violence collected data on over 1,100 killings by police in 2017. Compiling information from media reports, obituaries, public records, and databases like Fatal Encounters and the WashingtonPost, this report represents the most comprehensive accounting of deadly police violence in 2017. Our analysis suggests the majority of killings by police in 2017 could have been prevented and that specific policies and practices might prevent police killings in the future.
