More people are killed by police in the US than in any other developed
country, and there are growing calls for improved training to reduce the
use of lethal force.

We've looked into what training US police officers receive, and how it
compares with other parts of the world.

The report looked at police training requirements in more than 100
countries and found that the US had among the lowest, in terms of
average hours required.

Would more training be key to reducing the high level of police
killings, maybe with the emphasis on de-escalation tactics?
