Over 146 officer fatalities per year. That is a shocking number. One officer killed somewhere in america every 60 hours. All right. But the good news is that numbers are going down. If you go back to the 1970s we were averaging 231 officers killed in the line of duty each and every year. That means the 146 number i cited is 37 lower than it was 40 years ago. That is at a time we have double number of officers serving and putting themselves at risk. Would you have expected that number would have gone up, not down. There are a number of factors that are responsible for that and i have enumerated some of them in my written testimony. I want to just spend a moment though reemphasizing the leadership that the attorney general of the United States eric holder, has focused on issue of officer safety and wellness. Im not sure he is getting enough credit for his leadership. Just a few years ago, when deaths were spiking, 171 officers killed in 2011 he held a summit in his office with about 40 L
Two recommendations. There should be a dedication to the research and development of solutions to mine Law Enforcement databases for information that will not only reduce and solve crime, but help keep our officers safe. This cannot be a one time endeavor, but rather a continual process. In addition, we must look for and publicize best practices and use of social media. Currently, there is no better way to connect with the citizens. In Law Enforcement we are only as strong as our relationships with the community. If they trust us they will call us when something is amiss in their neighborhood. So, the question that begs to be answered is how do we build that trust. It begins with understanding ourselves and the citizens we serve. To this every Law Enforcement officer should be mandate aed to complete the course entitle td fair and impartial policing. Its to show that everyone has biases and that luiu critical for officers to recognize this, make every attempt to set them aside when ser
Im proud to be a part of. Its jointly under the auspices of the cops office and the bureau of justice assistance. This is done tremendous good in training more than 15,000 officers across this country. Finally, hes increased the federal grant money thats gone to groups like ours and others who are focused on officer safety and wellness. Those are just some great examples of the leadership hes provided. I dont think its any coincidence that as a result of all of those efforts, the last two years now, weve seen fewer Law Enforcement fatalities than any year for the last 50. Thats a great credit to leadership and to this group and so many others focused on this issue. A lot more work clearly needs to be done. I look at canada as a great role model for us here in the United States. Ive attended their memorial service, two out of the last three years. Two years ago, they honored all the officers in canada who had been killed in the line of duty. One officer during a 12month period killed in
Individuals dealing with them responsible for this issue is particularly concerning. We can read in the Company Report the level of funds theyre still expecting here. Dont you bank started the year twenty seventeen with seven point six billion euros set aside for litigation risks and fines thats more than in the entire previous history of the bank. The bank paid millions in fines and claims it doesnt do deals like that anymore but what derivatives skeletons are still in the closet its impossible to tell from the outside how dangerous this risk is all thats known is the value of dont you banks to rivet if portfolio. I can understand that the figures you read big enough to be taken and really seriously youre not exactly so. Scared but these are signs will some news from last night.
