November 2020 End of Watch Report


In November 2020, eighteen law enforcement officers died in the line of duty nationally.  Of those eighteen, fourteen died as a result of COVID-19. Three died from gunfire, and one died due to drowning.  The year-to-date total for line of duty deaths stands at 271 at the end of November, an 83% increase from the same time last year.

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 in November 2020. We encourage our supporters to read the memorials of each of the officers who died in the line of duty last month and remember the fallen:
