This report examines assaults and the line-of-duty deaths of California law enforcement officers' agencies during the five-year period January 1, 1990 to December 31, 1994. Particular attention is paid to the cases involving 54 peace officers from 31 agencies where deaths were a result of accidents and felonious assaults. The focus of gathering and analyzing data for those lost to felonious assaults and accidents is to identify points of practical significance for peace officer safety training and to make recommendations for improvement.
This report examines felonious and accidental deaths of peace officers and assaults that occurred in California between 2000 and 2004. Unfortunately, the following took place: 23 California peace officers were feloniously killed; 37 California peace officers were accidentally killed; 40,080 California peace officers were assaulted. Although this is a significant decrease of 10 felonious peace officer deaths from the previous 5 years, accidental deaths increased by 4 more peace officers, while over 5,800 more peace officers were assaulted. This 5-year study of law enforcement officers assaulted and killed examines 40,080 assaults and 60 deaths of California peace officers from January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2004. The report's objective is to provide information, findings, and recommendations so that the number of peace officer deaths and assault incidents can be reduced and ultimately prevented.
This report examines the deaths of California law enforcement officers during the five-year period from January 1, 1995 to December 31, 1999. Particular attention is paid to the cases involving 66 peace officers whose deaths were a result of accidents and felonious assaults. The focus of gathering and analyzing this data is to identify points of practical significance for peace officer safety training and to make recommendations for improvement.
This report examines the circumstances surrounding 19 felonious killings and 32 accidental deaths of peace officers in California during the years 1987, 1988, and 1989. It is a follow-up to a report previously published by POST covering the years 1980 through 1986. The purpose of this research is to establish an information base from which training curriculum, policies, and procedures can be developed or enhanced to curtail the injury and death of peace officers. Law enforcement recognizes that protecting lives and property, apprehending criminals, and keeping the public peace is inherently hazardous, and that not all tragedies can be prevented. The profession also recognizes that training has an impact on peace officer behavior which allow the officers' work to be done effectively, yet with maximum personal safety. The information contained in this report bears out the idea that training can positively influence officer behavior to achieve maximum safety while effectively doing the job. It can be used both for individual agency in-service training and in specific POST-certified courses. The study of the circumstances surrounding injuries and deaths arising out of on-duty attacks and accidents can yield training and operational strategies to help peace officers cope with new dangerous trends and the perennial perils of law enforcement.
The primary emphasis of this study was to examine the circumstances surrounding those incidents in which California peace officers were feloniously killed while carrying out their on-duty responsibilities. A comprehensive approach was used to examine the relevant issues with the intent of identifying significant factors that may have an effect on these killings. Due to its depth, the study has resulted in the identification of several elements contributing to the death of California peace officers. Analysis of these findings will lead to the development of guidelines that law enforcement agencies may use to better enable officers to deal with life-threatening situations. Subsequently, the basic training course for peace officers will be reviewed and revised as necessary to bring curricula into conformance with the guidelines. Early in the study, criteria were established to assist in the identification of those felonious killing incidents from which training issues could be most readily identified and properly addressed through analyses. After review of all the incidents, 41 killings were selected for in-depth study. In order to increase the validity of these findings, peace officers feloniously assaulted with a firearm were added to the study findings. These cases were limited to those in which a firearm was used, since 48 of the 91 officer killings were perpetrated with a firearm.
