The deadliest threat facing law enforcement officers across the country over the past year hasn t been armed criminals, high-speed pursuits or reckless drivers crashing into patrol vehicles.
It s been COVID-19.
According to the Officer Down Memorial Page, 297 officers including nine in Illinois have died after contracting the virus as a result of their duties. That s nearly 200 more than all other causes combined over the same time frame.
But despite those sobering statistics, police officers nationwide have been slow to get the COVID-19 vaccine, according to a report this week in The Washington Post. Although police were among the first with access, less than 40% of officers in several major-city departments New York, Atlanta and Phoenix among them have received even one dose, the Post reported. That compares to nearly 57% of adults nationwide, according to the latest figures from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Police initially responded to a call of shots fired on the fifth floor of the hotel at 2:35 a.m., officials said.
Officers responding to the suburban hotel located at 250 Schick Road said they saw no security on duty, just a lone hotel employee at the front desk.
They arrived to find dozens of people running from the building where they found as many as six people gunshot victims inside on the 5th floor. We had five shooting victims. As far as we know - five, Giammarese said. But unfortunately, there could have been more. More than 100 people fled the hotel before we had any contact with them.
