Law Enforcement Officer deaths this year are on the rise. It is a great concern to know that 88 LEO's have been killed in the line of duty in 2010. As we mark the half way point in 2010, we look at these statistics then compare them to a previous year. Last years numbers were 19 less.

What is a great concern is the fact that we are seeing a rise in single incident, multiple officer killings.

So as this staggering statistic rises for 2010, we must remember to reflect on their tragic stories. This will help LEO's with tactics and will help us remember our fallen hero's.

The Officer Down Memorial Page and the National Police Memorial accomplishes that goal. We honor the lives of these law enforcement officers and these two programs (websites) bring this to a national level.

Honor these law enforcement officers and learn about their lives. Visit the Officer down Memorial Page at www.odmp.org.
