Police Departments which made at least one change in their use of force policies after protests broke out

A McClatchy survey of the police departments in the 100 biggest American cities found that 40 police forces have made at least one change to their use of force policy, including the use of deadly or lethal force, in June ⁠— after protests rocked the nation. From 2013 to 2019, 26 of them recorded an annual average rate of police homicides above the national average of 3.4 people killed per one million residents.

McClatchy’s review of the use of force policies covered five parameters put forth by the non-profit, Campaign Zero, on rules surrounding the reporting of use of force and shooting at moving vehicles, the application of all kinds of neck restraints, the issuance of warnings before officers resorted to deadly force and the exhaustion of all other options before using deadly force. [CORRECTION: This chart has been updated to state that 26 police forces recorded an annual average rate of police homicides above "3.4 people killed per one million residents".]
