FBI Releases 2010 LEOKA Report
While on duty in 2010, 56 law enforcement officers were feloniously killed, 72 died in accidents, and more than 53,000 were assaulted, according to data in the "Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted" report.
The number of officers feloniously killed rose 16 percent and accidental deaths rose 53 percent from 2009, according to the 2010 edition of the report, which was released Monday. Assaults fell about 7 percent.
The 56 felonious deaths occurred in 22 states and Puerto Rico. The number of officers feloniously killed in 2010 increased by eight compared with the 48 officers killed in 2009. The figure represents a decrease of 14 deaths compared with data from 2001, when 70 officers were killed.
The average age of the officers who were feloniously killed was 38 years. The victim officers had served in law enforcement for an average of 10 years. Fifty-four of the victim officers were male, and two were female. Forty-eight of the officers were white, seven were black, and one was Asian/Pacific Islander.
Of the 56 officers feloniously killed, 15 were ambushed; 14 were attempting arrests; eight were investigating suspicious circumstances; seven were performing traffic stops or pursuits; six were answering disturbance calls; three were involved in tactical situations such as a high-risk entry; two were conducting investigative activity such as surveillance, searches, or interviews; and one officer was killed while transporting a prisoner.
