WEEK OF 11 NOVEMBER 2019 2019 OFFICERS SHOT AND KILLED 253 Officers Shot Total As of 15 November 2019 The National FOP began collecting this data in October 2015 when we realized that we had a lot of information about officers who were shot and killed in the line of duty but almost no information about officers who were shot and survived Using our own limited resources we were able to compile raw numbers which showed that even in years when the number of officers killed by gunfire had gone down the number of officers shot had gone up each year The stark reality is that advancements in medical science and anti ballistic technology are making these events more survivable PATRICK YOES National President 2019 Law Enforcement Officers Shot In The Line Of Duty State By State As Of 15 November 2019 Alabama 11 GLFOP 0 2 Alaska 0 Nevada Arizona 0 New Hampshire 1 Arkansas 2 New Jersey 2 California 18 New Mexico 1 Colorado 8 New York 9 Connecticut 2 North Carolina 10 Delaware 0 North Dakota 0 Florida 8 Ohio 7 Georgia 11 Oklahoma 4 Hawaii 0 Oregon 4 Idaho 0 Pennsylvania 8 Illinois 15 Rhode Island 0 Indiana 2 South Carolina 3 Iowa 3 South Dakota 0 Kansas 4 Tennessee 3 Kentucky 8 Texas 31 Louisiana 15 Utah 3 Maine 0 Vermont 0 Maryland 6 Virginia 8 Washington 5 Massachusetts 2 Michigan 4 West Virginia 4 Minnesota 2 Wisconsin 6 Mississippi 7 Wyoming 0 Missouri 8 DC 1 Montana 2 Puerto Rico 2 National Fraternal Order of Police GLFOP Nebraska FOPnational JIM PASCO Executive Director

WEEK OF 11 NOVEMBER 2019 ICYMI PRESIDENT YOES PENS OP ED IN THE HILL SENATE SHOULD CONFIRM CANTERBURY AS HEAD OF THE ATF By Patrick Yoes Johnathan Thompson and Larry Cosme 17 October 2019 CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL ARTICLE As leaders of our nation s largest and most prominent law enforcement organizations we represent virtually every law enforcement officer in the United States and we are calling on the Senate to confirm Chuck Canterbury to be the next director of the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives ATF Historically the ATF has had the closest working relationship with state and local law enforcement It plays a vital role in fighting violent crimes at the federal level as well as the state and local level However without a confirmed director the agency is lacking in leadership Since federal law was amended in 2006 the Senate has confirmed only one out of eight nominees under both Republican and Democratic administrations The only nominee that was confirmed B Todd Jones served only 20 months This lack of permanent leadership compromises the effectiveness of the ATF s law enforcement mission We need Chuck Canterbury as director of the ATF and we strongly believe he should be expeditiously confirmed PATRICK YOES National President National Fraternal Order of Police GLFOP GLFOP FOPnational JIM PASCO Executive Director
