Approved Alcohol Screening Devices
GBI Letter, May 1, 2008
Fewer police officers died in the line of duty in 2008 compared to last year, reflecting better training and tactics. Officer deaths this year totaled 140, compared to 181 in 2007. Gunfire deaths dropped to 41 officers this year, compared to 68 in 2007. The 2008 number represented the lowest total since 1956 - when there were 35 - and was far below the peak of 156 officers killed by gunfire in 1973. Traffic-related deaths also declined, with 71 officers killed this year, compared to 83 in 2007. It was the 11th consecutive year that more officers were killed in traffic incidents than from any other cause. The only downside was deaths of women officers: 15 in 2008 compared to 6 a year ago.
