Question

Law Enforcement Officers Killed or Assaulted on Duty Police officers are also victimized by violent crime. In 1972, the FBI began to pro- duce two reports annually, the Law Enforcement Officers Killed Summary and the Analysis of Assaults on Federal Officers. These two reports were combined in 1982 to create the annual publication Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA). In looking at data collected by the FBI, 96 law enforcement officers were killed in line-of-duty incidents in 2014. Of these, 51 law enforcement officers died as a result of felonious acts, and 45 officers died in accidents. In addition, 48,315 officers were victims of line-of-duty assaults. The circumstances surrounding the 51 officer deaths resulted from 11 killed while answering disturbance calls, 9 were conducting traffic pursuits/stops, 7 were ambushed, 7 were investigating suspicious persons or circumstances, 5 were conducting investigative activities (such as surveil- lances, searches, or interviews), 4 were killed in arrest situations, 4 were involved in tactical situations, and 3 were handling persons with mental illnesses. One officer was killed in an unprovoked attack (FBI, LEOKA, 2014).
