COVID-19 was leading killer of police officers in 2020, the deadliest year for nation’s law enforcement since 1974, study says

CLEVELAND, Ohio The COVID-19 pandemic made 2020 the deadliest year for the nation’s law enforcement since 1974, according to a national law enforcement group.
The Washington D.C.-based National Law Enforcement Officer Memorial and Museum found that COVID-19 was the single most significant cause of line-of-duty deaths in 2020, and accounted for more dead police officers than any other cause, including gun violence and traffic crashes, combined.
The organization counted 264 total line-of-duty deaths last year among state, county, local, military and tribal law enforcement officers, nearly double the 135 officers killed in 2019. The rise is entirely attributable to COVID-19, which the group found was responsible for the deaths of at least 145 active officers in 2020.
