But a 2015 study by RTI International found that each agency misses nearly half of police killings in the US, and together they still miss more than one quarter.įatal Encounters seeks to remedy our gap in knowledge as police shootings - and the vast racial disparities behind them - get more attention in the news. The FBI and Bureau of Justice Statistics are each supposed to track police killings. The project, similar to others maintained by the Guardian and Washington Post, is necessary due to a massive gap in the information we have about police shootings in America. It also includes killings that were potentially legally justified, and is likely missing some killings entirely. Some of the data is incomplete, with details about a victim’s race, age, and other factors sometimes missing. The count comes from Fatal Encounters, a nonprofit that’s tracked police shootings by collecting reports from the media, public, and law enforcement and verifying them through news reports.
