At least 1,176 people were killed by law enforcement officers in the US last year, the most of any year since at least 2013.
That’s 36 more people than 2021, according to the nonprofit Mapping Police Violence, which last updated its database on Dec. 31. It may be an undercount as the organization continues to compile data, which it does regularly for all of the years it tracks.
