Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted, 2005 [30 October 2006]
http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/killed/2005/
The FBI publishes Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted each year to provide information about the officers who were killed, feloniously or accidentally, and those officers who were assaulted while performing their duties. The FBI collects these data through the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program.
Data considerations
Before reviewing the tables, charts, and narrative summaries presented in this publication, readers should be aware of certain features of the Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) data collection process that could affect their interpretation of the information.
* The data in the tables and charts reflect the number of victim officers, not the number of incidents or weapons used.
* The UCR Program considers any part of the body that can be used as weapons (such as hands, fists, or feet) to be personal weapons and designates them as such in its data.
* Law enforcement agencies use different methodologies for collecting and reporting data about officers who were killed and those who were assaulted. As a result, the two databases, and therefore the tables derived from them, are not comparable.
* Because the information in the tables of this publication are updated each year, the FBI cautions readers against making comparisons between the data in this publication and those in prior editions of the publication.
