We have gathered our data from a variety of sources including a list of Officer Involved Shootings from the Oakland Police Department, news sources, and crowdsourced projects. Because we have come across multiple deaths not reported by the OPD, there are most likely many more deaths by law enforcement yet to be exhumed. Not all police related deaths are listed as such; some are attributed to other parties, such as a companion co-charged in a crime with the deceased. If you know of a death that we did not report, email us to report it and we can add it to our map.

A US map of deaths by police created by Fatal Encounters can be found here. They have a comparative crowdsourced database to search through on their site.

Deadspin has also been compiling data on police shootings, which can be seen in their database here.

The FaceBook page Killed by Police writes: "At least 726 people have been killed by U.S. police since January 1, 2014. At least 1475 have been killed since May 1, 2013. At least 1087 were killed May 1, 2013 - May 1, 2014. Source: Police reports via corporate news reports."

We encourage people to add to their databases. We also implore people to file public records requests of local and state police agencies for stats on civilians killed by police.
