The National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), the world's largest organization of law enforcement officers, has counted 101 officers shot, including 17 fatally, so far in 2022.
The latest figure marks a 43% increase compared to the number of officers shot at the same time period in 2021 and a 63% increase compared to 2020, FOP"We are in the midst of a real crisis. The violence directed at law enforcement officers is unlike anything I’ve seen in my 36 years of law enforcement," National FOP President Patrick Yoes said in a Friday statement.
He added that FOP's data so far in 2022 indicates that"we are outpacing last year’s numbers of officers shot and killed in the line of duty.""It is important to remember that when we look at these numbers, they represent people who are fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters," he said."We must also be aware that the lethality of these attacks would be much greater but for dramatic improvements in medical trauma science and anti-ballistic technology.
