Police across the U.S. killed 1,176 people in 2022, the highest number of police killings in a year since researchers began recording such data.
In all, police killed over three people a day on average last year, adding up to nearly 100 people a month. These statistics are preliminary, as more killings from last year may still be recorded. So far, last year’s total is 31 more people than in 2021, when police killed 1,145 people. Since researchers began recording the data in 2013, police have always killed more than 1,000 people per year.
Police have relative impunity for these killings, the data shows; in 2013 and 2022, more than 98 percent of police killings did not result in an officer being charged with a crime, much less being convicted. Black people were far more likely to be killed by police in 2022 than white people. Nearly 1 in 4 people that police killed in 2022 were Black, despite Black people making up only 13 percent of the U.S. population. Over the past decade, police have killed Black people at higher rates than white people in nearly every large city, the data shows.
