May he be at peace.

Is is it just me, or am I seeing a huge jump in LEO deaths over the last couple of years?

Hard to believe Andrew, but as yearly averages go, the numbers are low. 2017 being the lowest in many years.

not the deaths by ambush. Are you looking at total annual deaths or death by firearm? I don’t mean this as an attack question. I don’t know myself.

Good question Big Poppa. ..........That would be annual deaths. A specific detailed search can be done. Historically, the approximate numbers are half 'felonious' deaths, half 'accidental'. I get my information from the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund which I'm associated with. I could obtain specifics, but honestly, no need to wrap myself up any tighter on these issues. I report here at MO the deaths of LEO's relative to weapons/violence only. My goal is not to garner sympathy for LE, but feel these circumstances, incidents of violent/weapon Officer deaths are relative to us Forum members as we advocate/practice concealed carry, home protection etc.
