In 2016, The Post is
sending open-records requests to every police department involved in a
fatal shooting to compile information on the officers who fired shots,
something no federal agency tracks. One shooting may involve officers
from multiple departments.
Requests have been denied
for various reasons, most commonly that investigations are ongoing.
Other reasons for denial have included that the information is not a
public record, personnel files are private or the department chose not
to disclose.

In 2015, The Post created a database cataloging every fatal shooting nationwide by a police officer in the line of duty, collecting data on those who were killed and details of the shootings. The effort began because data compiled by the federal government was unreliable and incomplete.This database is based on news reports, public records, social media and other sources.
