I did find this story - Why police officer deaths rose 37 percent in 2010 -

But in that 37% increase half were car accidents.

With limited time to search... http://www.nleomf.org/facts/officer-...data/year.html this is a reputable organization. IIRC, I mentioned previously here that the high water mark for LOD deaths was 1973 @ 268 officers killed. I do not have the time to look deeper so I did not break down the manner of death. Statistically speaking operating a vehilce is the most dangerous thing most officers will ever do.

I think the 24 hour news cycle just brings more public awareness to P/O deaths.
