Police fatalities in the line of duty, including the number of officers killed by gunfire, spiked in 2021, a National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund report found.
Police deaths last year rose to 458, a 55 percent increase from the year before. Eighty-four police officers in 2021 died from "felonious assaults," including 61 officers killed with firearms. The number of firearm deaths is up 36 percent from 2020.
Nineteen officers were killed in "ambush-style attacks," which the report calls a "significant increase" from only six attacks in 2020.
