Fatal Encounters · Independent third-party dataset
Deaths during police encounters in New Jersey, 2000 to 2021
Fatal Encounters (fatalencounters.org) is an independent, crowdsourced journalism project that documented deaths occurring during police encounters of any kind across the United States. This page lists its 549 New Jersey records, newest first, each linking to a page that shows the record exactly as the project recorded it.
This is not a list of people killed by police, and it is not a misconduct record. The dataset includes deaths of every kind that happened during or around an encounter: shootings, vehicle pursuits and crashes, suicides that occurred in police presence, medical emergencies, drownings, and overdoses. A record says a death occurred during an encounter; it does not say an officer or agency was at fault. It is also a different kind of source from the rest of this site: crowdsourced journalism, not the government data behind the discipline pages.
Coverage runs 2000 through 2021. The project suspended collection in December 2021, so the dataset is frozen: no records after 2021 means the dataset ended, not that these deaths ended. Fatal Encounters' own documentation also cautions that deaths during vehicle pursuits are undercounted.

How these records were brought onto this site, including how agency names were matched to department pages, is documented in the methodology notes on the Fatal Encounters dataset. If you are a family member and a record is wrong, or you want it removed, the corrections page explains how to reach this site.

Questions and answers
- What is the Fatal Encounters dataset?
- Fatal Encounters (fatalencounters.org) is an independent, crowdsourced journalism project that documented deaths occurring during police encounters of any kind across the United States. It is not a government source, and it is separate from the New Jersey Attorney General discipline data on the rest of this site. The project stopped collecting in December 2021.
- What years does Fatal Encounters cover for New Jersey?
- The New Jersey records run from 2000 through 2021. The project suspended collection in December 2021, so the absence of records after 2021 means the dataset ended, not that these deaths ended.
- Does a record here mean police caused the death?
- No. Fatal Encounters documented deaths that occurred during police encounters of any kind, not deaths caused by police. The New Jersey records include vehicle pursuits and crashes (131 of the 549 records list "Vehicle" as the highest level of force), suicides that occurred in police presence, medical emergencies, drownings, and other circumstances. A record is not a finding of fault, misconduct, or wrongdoing by any officer or agency.
- How many New Jersey records are in the dataset?
- There are 549 New Jersey records, covering 2000 through 2021. Each links to its own page showing the details exactly as Fatal Encounters recorded them, with a citation to the exact source row.
