Data Shows Increase In Law Enforcement Officer Deaths As Crime Rates Surge – By OAN Newsroom (OANN) / June 21 2021
New data released from the FBI reported law enforcement officer deaths have increased 39 percent in the past five months in comparison to the same time last year. The report included 39 officers who were killed since May 31.
FBI Director Christopher Wray thanked the nation’s law enforcement officers last month for their continued dedication to keep citizens safe and gave his condolences to the families who lost a loved one while on the line of duty.
“2020 was one of the deadliest years for law enforcement in our nations history and sadly 2021 is looking grim too,” he expressed. “We’ve lost beloved colleagues to line of duty deaths, from gunfire and car crashes, and our people have faced a significant new risk from COVID.”
