Law enforcement o cers who don the uniform each and every day routinely put others first in the name of public safety.
According to the National Law Enforcement Memorial Fund, there are now more than 800,000 sworn law enforcement o cers serving in the United States, which is the highest figure ever. O cers often step up to serve despite the risks associated with working in law enforcement. A total of 1,627 law enforcement o cers died in the line of duty over the past 10 years. There were 135 law enforcement o cers killed in the line of duty in 2019 alone.
Law enforcement personnel serve many
important roles in the communities they serve. Here's a closer look at the integral roles of police and other law enforcement personnel.
Maintain law and order: The police force is made up of many di erent departments with the collective goal of maintaining law and order. Tra c police are responsible for enforcing the rules of the road and minimizing the chance of accidents. Other departments canvas the streets ensuring that residents' civil liberties are not being compromised.
Save lives: Whether they're preventing a life-threatening crime or administering emergency medical care at a car accident until an ambulance can arrive, law
enforcement o cers save lives every day. Assist in adverse situations and provide crisis support: Police o cers often fill the role of counselor or friend to people who find themselves in di cult situations. An o cer can play a part in helping people make better life choices in the future.
Training in situational de-escalation also means police o cers are capable of defusing di cult situations before they snowball into serious, potentially lifethreatening confrontations.
Investigate crimes: Police are the first people to respond when crimes have been committed. These individuals investigate the situation and find the perpetrator.
Foster strong communities: Law
enforcement o cers share a unique solidarity with other o cers, peers, community leaders, and even medical professionals, which helps to create a strong fabric for a community. O cers frequently have each other's backs as well as the respect and support of the public for putting their lives on the line.
Law enforcement is an essential component of orderly, safe and supportive communities. Recognizing and respecting the important role law enforcement o cials play is a great way to show them how much their e orts and sacrifices are appreciated.
