Several databases exist detailing homicide by and against police officers. They are listed below. The Center for Homicide Research does not endorse any of the above databases. This list is for informational purposes only and use of any of these data sources must be undertaken with caution after having read the methodology for each one. Pay particular attention to terminology to differentiate between “shooting” versus “killing.”
