FBI: 139 Officers Killed in Line of Duty

FBI: 139 Officers Killed in Line of Duty

By JUAN-CARLOS RODRIGUEZ, Associated Press Writer Mon Nov 21,10:48 AM ET

The FBI reported Monday that 139 police officers were killed in the line of
duty in 2004, with guns and traffic accidents claiming the most lives.

Of the total, which is seven deaths more than in 2003, 54 were shot to death
and 48 were killed in traffic accidents. Thirty-one of those killed with
guns were wearing body armor.

There were nine more shooting deaths in 2004 than the previous year.

Authorities solved all but one of the cases in 2004 of officers who were
shot to death or otherwise intentionally killed. Thirty-nine suspects were
arrested, 11 were killed by police and eight committed suicide, according to
the FBI.

Thirty-nine of the 57 officers killed intentionally were on vehicle patrols.
Ten were slain while investigating disturbance calls, and 12 were ambushed.

Twenty-seven of the intentional killings and 39 of the 82 accidental deaths
took place in the South, by far the deadliest region.

In all cases, the average age of the officer killed was 39 and average level
of police experience was 12 years for those killed intentionally and 11
years for those killed accidentally.

Besides the officer deaths, more than 59,000 officers were assaulted in 2004
while performing official duties, with more than 16,000 suffering injuries.
Eighty percent of these attacks involved hands, fists and feet.

The report was culled from information submitted by more than 10,000 state,
local and tribal law enforcement agencies.

Interesting topic but in fact the most risky profession in the US
is being a cab driver. The death of a fireman on duty is hardly news,
but a cop being shot is.

French cops are constantly being run down by chauffards who fail
to stop for a control.

Now the FBI you are really homesick, why dont you go home join diva??

The FBI reported Monday that 139 police officers were killed in the line of
duty in 2004, with guns and traffic accidents claiming the most lives.

One statistic which received publicity in the UK this week was the
number of people killed in accidents involving police vehicles,

The number of deaths in England and Wales reached 44, up eight from last
year and more than two and a half times the 17 deaths in 2000-01. Four
pedestrians died last year after being hit by vehicles answering
emergency calls and around half the fatal accidents involved drivers or
passengers in vehicles pursued by police.

The IPCC study follows the release in June of Home Office research
showing that the number of people killed or injured in police traffic
incidents, either involving emergency calls, pursuits or patrolling
vehicles, rose by 60 per cent in the year 2003-2004.

When we first came to France over 30 years ago I noticed then that
the response of car drivers to approaching emergency vehicles was
not like that in California. In California, at that time, people pulled
over and stopped to let the vehicles through. The French did not react
in that matter. The French have improved over the years but still
the response is not automatic for all.

Next, when driving in Paris I find it difficult to determine from what
direction the vehicles are coming, the echo of the sirens off the buildings
makes that difficult. The worse case is an emergency vehicle trying to get
through a traffic jam, often there is no room to get over much.
