OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) as a
surveillance system for homicides by law enforcement officers. METHODS: We
assessed sensitivity and positive predictive value of the NVDRS "type of death"
variable against our study count of homicides by police, which we derived from
NVDRS coded and narrative data for states participating in NVDRS 2005 to 2012. We
compared state counts of police homicides from NVDRS, Vital Statistics, and
Federal Bureau of Investigation Supplementary Homicide Reports. RESULTS: We
identified 1552 police homicides in the 16 states. Positive predictive value and
sensitivity of the NVDRS "type of death" variable for police homicides were high
(98% and 90%, respectively). Counts from Vital Statistics and Supplementary
Homicide Reports were 58% and 48%, respectively, of our study total; gaps varied
widely by state. The annual rate of police homicide (0.24/100,000) varied 5-fold
by state and 8-fold by race/ethnicity. CONCLUSIONS: NVDRS provides more complete
data on police homicides than do existing systems. POLICY IMPLICATIONS: Expanding
NVDRS to all 50 states and making 2 improvements we identify will be an efficient
way to provide the nation with more accurate, detailed data on homicides by law
enforcement.
