To analyze San Jose police officers' use of force against the mentally impaired, journalists for the Bay Area Group and the California Reporting Project, working with students from Stanford University and UC Berkeley, reviewed thousands of pages of police records released under California's 2018 police transparency law, SB 1421, and the terms of a 2020 settlement of the news group's lawsuit against the city of San Jose. The analysis includes 106 cases involving 108 individuals who were seriously injured or beaten by police between 2014 and 2021.
