TL;DR -

Salt Lake City (~200k pop?) had some police shooting scandals (~1/yr?). In all cases, the shooting was deemed justified.

They're now practicing "de-escalation", and haven't shot anyone (justified or not) in 20 months.

It also occurs to me that they outsource the shooting to SWAT or something, but that seems reasonable to not include in the statistics.
