End of Watch Report September 2020


 

In September 2020, twenty law enforcement officers died in the line of duty in the United States, bringing our year-to-date total up to 212 officers, a 91% increase over the same time last year.  The increase is largely due to the high number of COVID deaths in the law enforcement community:117 so far in 2020.

Of the twenty deaths in September, seven were due to COVID-19; six were auto-related (four auto crashes, one struck by vehicle, one vehicular assault); four deaths were the result of gunfire, one was due to assault, one was the result of 9/11-related cancer, and one was sue to another duty-related illness.

The Officer Down Memorial Page extends our deepest condolences to the families, friends, and agencies who lost a loved one to a line of duty death and we ask our supporters to take moment to read the memorials from September 2020 and remember the fallen.
