Officer Down Memorial Page: End of Watch Report December 2015



In December 2015, thirteen law enforcement officers lost their lives in the line of duty.  Of those, three deaths were due to vehicle-related incidents, three were the result of felonious gunfire, one was due to heart attack, and the remaining six were US Air Force Special Agents who were killed by a suicide bomber near Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan.

The Officer Down Memorial Page extends our deepest sympathy and condolences to the family, friends, and agencies that lost a loved one this month.
