Overview

Mission

Mapping police violence inc is an organization focused on collecting data, conducting research and publishing reports about police violence and accountability in the united states.

What it reported doing in 2024

The mapping police violence project is one of the first and most comprehensive databases and analyses of police killings in the united states. This project is a continuously updated resource and ongoing tracker of police killings, enabling the public to better understand and address deadly police violence given the lack of comprehensive federal data on this issue. Policedata.org is the largest public accounting of police use of force in america, incorporating data from thousands of police agencies in all 50 states.the police violence report is an annual report summarizing trends in deadly police violence in the united states. The report documents the circumstances of these incidents, analyzes the role various policing policies and practices play in contributing to these outcomes, and identifies systemic changes that can prevent these forms of police violence in the future.the nationwide police scorecard is a database publishing information on broad range of policing outcomes obtained from more than 16,000 law enforcement agencies in the united states - making available for the first time data on nonfatal police use of force, police misconduct complaints, arrests, police funding, and other critical policing issues. The project utilizes an evaluation framework spanning 15 key outcomes to compare law enforcement agencies, publishes analyses of trends in police behavior, and tracks progress towards reducing police violence and increasing accountability nationwide.
