Five years since the COVID-19 pandemic was declared, it remains important to reflect on the lasting impact the virus has had on the law enforcement community.
By the end of 2020, COVID-19 accounted for more line-of-duty deaths among officers across the United States than firearms or traffic fatalities combined, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund said.
The impact of COVID-19 on law enforcement fatalities
Throughout the pandemic, law enforcement officers encountered unprecedented challenges, with many contracting the virus in the line of duty. NLEOMF has formally recognized COVID-19 as a line-of-duty cause of death in their annual reports.
In 2021, NLEOMF reported a total of 458 federal, state, county, municipal, military, campus, tribal and territorial officers died in the line of duty, marking a 55% increase over the previous year. Notably, COVID-19 was identified as the leading cause of these fatalities, with 301 officer deaths attributed to the virus, representing a 65% increase from the prior year.
In 2022, while there was a significant reduction in COVID-19-related officer deaths — an 83% decrease compared to 2021 — the virus remained the leading cause of law enforcement fatalities, according to NLEOMF. Specifically, 70 officers succumbed to COVID-19, highlighting the ongoing threat posed by the pandemic to those in uniform.
A living memorial to those we lost
When we first compiled this article, our intent was to create a central record of every law enforcement officer who lost their life due to COVID-19. While we know that no list can ever be truly all-encompassing, this remains an important space to acknowledge and honor those who served and sacrificed during an unprecedented global crisis.
Reflecting on five years
Five years since the pandemic’s onset, we pay tribute to all officers who made the ultimate sacrifice due to COVID-19. Their dedication amidst uncertain and high-risk conditions exemplifies the courage inherent in law enforcement. Departments and agencies are encouraged to honor these fallen heroes through formal memorials, roll call acknowledgments, or other remembrance efforts.
A lasting legacy
Five years later, we remember not just the numbers, but the people — the officers, deputies, troopers and agents who showed up every day, even as the risks mounted. The law enforcement community continues to feel the impact of these losses, and we stand in solidarity with the families, friends and agencies who still mourn.
As we reflect on this solemn milestone, we encourage departments and officers to take a moment to honor their fallen colleagues. Whether through official memorials, roll call acknowledgments or personal reflection, these men and women deserve to be remembered — not just as statistics, but as heroes who upheld their oath in the most challenging of times.
