The Situation

While vital grassroots efforts have been made to keep track of police violence, there is no national government or civil society body tracking police-involved deaths in Canada. Tracking (In)Justice is a law enforcement data and transparency project tracking police-involved deaths and deaths in custody across Canada. This project aims to provide access to data and analysis so individuals, organizations and communities can collectively advocate, shape policy and create accountability.

Police use of force-involved deaths in Canada between 2000 and 2022. That's more than 30 deaths per year on average.
