In this insightful interview, we sit down with Rosa Guixens, Executive Director of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, and Troy Anderson, Executive Director of Officer Safety and Wellness, to discuss the critical findings from the 2024 Fatalities Report and the innovative programs making a difference for law enforcement officers nationwide.
Rosa provides a heartfelt look into the challenges and dedication involved in honoring the 147 officers who tragically lost their lives in the line of duty last year—a 25% increase from 2023. She also shares the emotional weight of preparing for the annual Police Week Vigil and the ongoing efforts to support the families of fallen officers. Troy complements this with an in-depth exploration of the Officer Safety and Wellness programs, including initiatives like Safe LEO, Destination Zero, and resilience training designed to reduce suicides and fatalities. Together, they discuss the importance of fostering a culture of support, wellness, and safety within the law enforcement community.
