LE Fatalities Surge 43% in 2010; Following 50-year Low, 
LE Fatalities Way Up! 

"It is certainly disheartening that last year's encouraging news on officer fatalities has not continued into 2010," said NLEOMF Chairman and CEO Craig W. Floyd. "These latest figures provide a grim reminder that, even with all of the safety improvements that have been achieved in recent decades, our law enforcement officers still face grave, life-threatening dangers each and every day."

He added, "As governments across the country face tighter and tighter budgets, we must ensure that critical officer safety measures such as training, equipment and personnel are not sacrificed. If our dedicated law enforcement officers are to continue to drive down crime, as they have done so successfully in recent years, then they must have the necessary resources to protect our communities and themselves."
