In September 1992, the FBI published the findings of a 3-year comprehensive study entitled "Killed in the Line of Duty: A Study of Selected Felonious Killings of Law Enforcement Officers." It focused on why a particular offender feloniously killed a particular officer within a specified set of circumstances. Subsequent to publication of the study, speakers from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program traveled throughout the country to address groups of law enforcement professionals and conduct training sessions on the methodology and results of the study. These presentations and discussions identified specific areas where law enforcement training and procedures may have had a role in the eventual deaths of law enforcement officers. These same discussions yielded some insights that may reduce the likelihood of an officer's being killed in the line of duty: (1) the need for well-defined, clearly understood, and easily implemented deadly force policy; (2) better night training; (3) first-aid experience; and (4) supervising for safety.
