At least 210 law enforcement officers had been shot nationwide as of July 31 – up 14% from the same time in 2021, the National Fraternity of Police reported.

Of the 210 law enforcement officers wounded as of midnight on the last day of July, 39 were killed, the national police union reported. Meanwhile, 71 officers were shot as a result of 46 "ambush-style attacks," which claimed the lives of 18 members of law enforcement, the group found. 

National FOP President Patrick Yoes said the number of officers who are shot and killed in the line of duty is "outpacing last year’s historic number[s]."

"This fact is disturbing and should alarm all Americans," Yoes said in a press release.

"Make no mistake—we are experiencing a real crisis with the level of violence directed at law enforcement officers," he went on. "Frankly, it is unlike anything I’ve seen in my 36 years of law enforcement. Last year we saw more officers shot in the line of duty than any other since the National Fraternal Order of Police began recording this data in late 2015."
