In March 2018, a total of thirteen law enforcement officers gave their lives in the line of duty. Of those thirteen line of duty deaths (LODDs), six were the result of gunfire, five were auto-related, one was due to a 9/11-related illness, and one officer drowned.
At the end of March the total number of yearly LODDs stands at 35, which is a 5% decrease over this time last year.
The Officer Down Memorial Page sends our condolences to the families, friends, and agencies who lost a loved one to a line of duty death. We encourage our supporters to read the memorials for each of these fallen officers and to share the report in order to raise awareness of line of duty deaths and their causes.
