Police shootings 2017 database - Washington Post

In 2015, The Post created a database cataloging every fatal shooting

nationwide by a police officer in the line of duty, collecting data on

those who were killed and details of the shootings. The effort began

because data compiled by the federal government was unreliable and

incomplete. The project was awarded the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for

National Reporting.

This database is based on news reports, public records, social media

and other sources. Read about our methodology.
