As we reflect on those we’ve lost, please remember the families of our fallen as well. The average age of the fallen is 41; the average tour-of-duty is 9 years. In addition to losing 10 law enforcement professionals in the line-of-duty this year, there are 6 widows and 12 children who’ve lost a parent. Remember to back the badge and spread the word. They need us just as much as we need them.
