This agency reports crime to the FBI but has filed no employment return. Officer and civilian headcount are therefore not available. Police Census shows a measured figure or nothing at all — never an estimate.

What this figure is and is not. It counts deaths recorded as occurring during an encounter with this agency. It is not a finding of wrongdoing, and a death being recorded here says nothing about whether it was lawful. Many involve armed confrontations; some involve none. Police Census publishes counts only and does not name the people who died.
These records are compiled from news reports and public records by Mapping Police Violence, an independent research organisation — they are not official statistics, and no federal database records this comprehensively. Used with permission.

Agency identity, type, jurisdiction, coordinates and reporting status are as published by the FBI Crime Data Explorer, agency record IN0180300. Police Census reproduces these values without adjustment. Where the FBI publishes nothing, this page says so rather than estimating.
