Updated for 2012: The deadliest days for cops are here

With the holidays fast approaching, it's time once again to remind all of our law enforcement officers that the three deadliest days LEOs face are right around the corner. Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day are the three single days that the most LEOs are killed on throughout the year (with the exception of 9/11).

Day	# LODDs
1. January 1st	106
2. December 25th	90
3. December 24th	87

Whether you're facing a domestic disturbance call, suspicious person/vehicle, or responding to an emergency, it is imperative that you keep that heightened level of awareness this holiday season and always.

Never forget: Wear your vest. Wear your seatbelt. Slow down.
