FBI Report Highlights Mixed Bag for Police Safety in 2025: Assaults Surge, Felonious Killings Decline The FBIs latest report on law enforcement officers killed and assaulted in 2025 reveals a complex picture of police safety. Assaults reached a decade-high rate of 13.8 per 100 officers, with a total of 90,178 incidents. However, felonious killings dropped by 17.2% from 2024, with 53 officers killed. The report, based on data from various agencies nationwide, shows a clear upward trend in nonfatal attacks since 2021. The report aims to enhance officer safety training and identify national patterns in policing to better protect officers amid rising threats. Firearms remain a significant cause of injuries, with 445 officers injured in 2025, down from the 2023 peak but still higher than pre-2020 levels. The South had the highest firearm involvement at 4.5% of assaults, while the Northeast had the lowest at 1.6%. As departments analyze these numbers, the focus is on reducing assaults through smarter tactics, even as fewer officers lose their lives on duty.
