"FBI: 139 Police Deaths, 16,000 Wounded or Injured"
by Jim Kouri, CPP
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The Federal Bureau of Investigation reports that 139 police officers died in the line of duty -- 57 feloniously killed, 82 in accidents while working -- and over 16,000 cops were wounded or injured in 2004. The National Association of Chiefs of Police monitors police officer line-of-duty deaths and injuries yearly, and is deeply concerned with the latest figures.
The FBI's data reveals that 57 law enforcement officers were feloniously killed in the line of duty last year. The FBI’s Uniform Crime Report Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted, 2004, showed that these officers lost their lives in 50 separate incidents in 22 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Territories of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands."
