Abstract: Prior literature has examined police militarization by operationalizing the materiel dimension using the 1033 Program – a U.S. military surplus transfer program – and assessing its relationship with police fatal force. Given mixed findings, the present study demonstrates the importance of data considerations while examining this relationship and any assessment of militarization or fatal force.
