These past two years have been especially difficult<br />
with over 581 officers losing their lives to COVID alone.<br />
This horrible pandemic has claimed more police officer’s<br />
lives in the past two years then the previous three<br />
years combined. And unfortunately, it continues to this<br />
day with no end in sight.<br />
The following chart is a tragic reminder of how many<br />
brothers and sisters in <strong>Blues</strong> we’ve lost in 2020 & 2021.<br />
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be<br />
called the children of God.”<br />
