  • 1For 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016, data were not reported by the U.S. Department of Defense.
  • 2For 2013, data were not reported by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
  • 3For 2013, detailed incident data were not reported by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Office of Border Patrol, for 2 killed victim officers, by the Bureau of Indian Affairs for 1 killed victim officer, and by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration for 1 killed victim officer; therefore, these 4 deaths were not represented in the feloniously killed section of this publication.
  • 4For 2014, 2015, and 2016, data requests to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were inadvertently received and addressed by entities within ICE that did not possess the appropriate resources to provide comprehensive and complete data; therefore, caution must be taken when comparing prior years' data to 2017 data.
  • 5For 2014 and 2015, extent of injury data were not reported by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Office of Border Patrol.
