Fallen Officers
Those Who Made the Ultimate Sacrifice and Those Who Continue to Serve
Law enforcement officers put their lives on the line for the safety and protection of others. While crime nationwide is at a historic low, that protection comes at a price. For the past decade, an average of 146 law enforcement officers have been killed in the line of duty each year, and more than 20,000 law enforcement officers throughout U.S. history have given their lives in service to their communities.
The Baltimore Police Department has suffered 136 line-of-duty deaths, dating back to 1808.
