In July 2018, fourteen law enforcement officers died in the line of duty in the U.S. bringing the year-to-date total to 91. This represents a 12% increase over the same time in 2017.
Of the fourteen line of duty deaths in July, six were the result of felonious gunfire. Three were the result of a heart attack and two deaths resulted from duty-related illness. Two were auto-related (one vehicle pursuit and one vehicular assault). One was the result of an assault.
