In November 2018, twelve law enforcement officers gave their lives in the line of duty. Of those twelve deaths, eight were auto-related: four automobile crashes, two motorcycle crashes, one vehicular pursuit, and one officer was struck by a vehicle. Three officers died in November as a result of felonious gunfire. The remaining line of duty death last month was the result of a 9/11-related illness.
As of the end of November, 136 officers have died in the line of duty nationwide in 2018. This is a 5% increase over the same time in 2017.
The Officer Down Memorial Page extends our sincere condolences to the families, friends, and agencies who lost a loved one to a line of duty death in November 2018. Please take a moment to read their memorials and remember the fallen:
