Message from IACP
On January 1, 2019, the FBI launched the National Use-of-Force Data Collection as a voluntary program to gather
data and provide an aggregate view of law enforcement use-of-force incidents in the United States. The IACP has
supported this effort since its conception and strongly encourages all agencies to participate. Up to this point,
major news outlets have been the only source for use of force statistics in the U.S., having compiled and analyzed
their own version of this data since 2015. The FBI's national data collection is an opportunity for the law
enforcement community to take the lead and fill a void in use-of-force reporting. The results will foster more
informed conversations around use-of-force incidents and demonstrate law enforcement's commitment to
transparency, fair and impartial policing, and community trust. This can only happen if agencies opt in to
participate.
IACP has compiled information and resources to assist chiefs with this issue, including a checklist of considerations.
Visit theiacp.org to download the checklist and access links to more information on how to participate.
