This report analyzes use-of-force data from the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office from 2014 through 2025, covering 559 unique records across nine years, with no data available for 2020 or 2021. Across the available data, the agency recorded a notable spike in use-of-force incidents in 2022, with nearly double the number of records from any prior year. Black residents made up roughly half of the people subjected to force, despite representing 29% of the parish population, a pattern that persisted in every year with available demographic data. Use of force was also concentrated among a small group of officers: 12 of the 205 unique officers identified during the full period had 10 or more records each, and the top 10 officers accounted for 22% of all records. Significant changes in how the agency recorded data over time, including the complete absence of citizen demographic information in 2022 and 2023, limit the precision of these findings.
