INTRODUCTION: Law enforcement officers (LEOs) in the U.S. are at an increased
risk for homicide. The purpose of this study is to describe the characteristics
of homicides of LEOs in 17 U.S. states participating in the National Violent
Death Reporting System. This active surveillance system uses data from death
certificates, coroner/medical examiner reports, and law enforcement reports.
METHODS: This study used quantitative and qualitative methods to analyze National
Violent Death Reporting System data for 2003-2013. Deaths of LEOs feloniously
killed in the line of duty were selected for analysis. LEO homicides and the
circumstances preceding or occurring during the incident were characterized.
Analyses were conducted October 2015-June 2016. RESULTS: A total of 128 officer
homicides from 121 incidents were identified. Most (93.7%) LEO victims were male,
60.9% were aged 30-49 years (average age, 40.9 years). Approximately 21.9% of
LEOs were killed during an ambush, and 19.5% were killed during traffic stops or
pursuits. Of the 14.1% of LEOs killed responding to domestic disturbances, most
disturbances were intimate partner violence related. More than half (57.0%) of
homicides were precipitated by another crime, and of these, 71.2% involved crimes
in progress. Most suspects were male. Ninety-one percent of homicides of LEOs
were committed with a firearm. CONCLUSIONS: This information is critical to help
describe encounter situations faced by LEOs. The results of this study can be
used to help educate and train LEOs on hazards, inform prevention efforts
designed to promote LEO safety, and prevent homicide among this population.
