Objective:
To assess prevalence of concern and experiences with police-involved shootings among Colorado adults and differential impact on sociodemographic groups.
Methods:
We analyzed a biennial state-representative online survey of Colorado adults, administered April-May 2023. Participants included the Ipsos KnowledgePanel of Colorado adults and additional opt-in respondents (n = 1,520). Main outcomes were self-reported concern about and personal experience with a police-involved shooting.
Results:
Overall, 43.3 % of Colorado adults were concerned about a police-involved shooting occurring in their community and 26.1 % were concerned about a police-involved shooting occurring to themselves or their family. Black and Hispanic adults had significantly higher rates of concern compared to White and non-Hispanic adults, respectively. Of all Colorado adults, 4.4 % reported personal experiences with police-involved shootings; Hispanic adults report significantly higher rates to non-Hispanics (p<.001).
Conclusions:
Results highlight pervasive levels of concern with police-involved shootings, with highest rates of both concern and personal experiences among Black and Hispanic adults. These findings underscore the need for comprehensive and reliable data to understand police-involved shootings and concerns about police-involved violence among diverse populations and the impact on communities' health.
