- Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of law enforcement officers in the United States who died from COVID-19 in 2020–2021. Data were drawn from the Officer Down Memorial Page (ODMP) website. Results reveal that 729 law enforcement officers died from COVID-19 between 2020 and 2021, with the majority of these deaths occurring in the southern region of the United States. Additionally, a larger percentage of COVD-19 deaths were reported for officers who were male, White, and older compared to officers of color, younger officers, and female officers.
