Unfortunate Statistics

Posted on January 6, 2005 by Gary Smith

The police memorial page I monitor recently submitted the following graphic to show the listing how officers were killed in the line of duty from 1995 to 2004. I feel the information reinforces the fact that policing is still a dangerous occupation.

Note: the spike in 2001 represents those lost in the World Trade Center and Washington DC terrorist acts on 9/11.

Godspeed to those officers lost in 2004.
