Fa­tal po­lice-in­volved shoot­ings have surged, reach­ing 55 in­ci­dents in 2025 af­ter a slight dip in pre­vi­ous years, ac­cord­ing to the Po­lice Com­plaints Au­thor­i­ty (PCA).

Da­ta showed that fa­tal po­lice-in­volved shoot­ings rose sharply to 55 in­ci­dents in 2025, fol­low­ing 37 in­ci­dents in 2024 and 39 in­ci­dents in 2023. Non-fa­tal shoot­ings were al­so re­port­ed, with 19 in­ci­dents record­ed in 2025.

In re­sponse to ques­tions sent via email yes­ter­day, a spokesper­son for the PCA said they were “cau­tious­ly op­ti­mistic” that there would be few­er po­lice-in­volved shoot­ings, not­ing that the loss of any life was of “se­ri­ous con­cern.”
