List of killings by law enforcement officers in Canada
This is a list of people killed by non-military law enforcement officers in Canada. The list includes deaths caused by officers both on and off duty, and does not discriminate by method or motivation. Inclusion in this list assigns neither wrongdoing nor justification to the victim or the officer involved; it is strictly documentation of the occurrence of a death.
This list is incomplete; there are no official statistics on fatal shootings by law enforcement officers in Canada, though the range had previously been estimated to be between 15 and 25 per year.[1][2] In 2018, The CBC published "Deadly Force", an investigative report described as "the first country-wide database of every person who died or was killed during a police intervention", which documented 461 fatal police encounters in Canada between 2000 and 2017, suggesting the average is closer to 26 people a year. "Deadly Force" also recorded an increasing average yearly number of police-involved deaths over time.[3] At the moment, Statistics Canada only tracks fatal police shootings if the officer involved is criminally charged.[4]
