It's difficult to provide a precise answer, as most people who enter law enforcement leave before they complete a full career of 20 years or more. That said, the odds of an American law enforcement officer dying in the line of duty in any given year is about 1 in 5000. There are roughly 800,000 law enforcement officers in the United States. In 2010, 165 were killed in the line of duty; in 2011, 166.
