Full Analysis of 2022 Traffic-Related Fatalities

During this installment of the quarterly NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) webinars, the 2022 traffic-related data from NLEOMF's proprietary 2022 Officers Fatalities Report will be reviewed.

Reo Nelson, highway safety specialist in the Enforcement and Justice Services (EJS) division at NHTSA, will discuss upcoming events. A live Q&A will occur at the program's conclusion.

From Research to the Vigil, Each Step with Care

A final review will be completed of names being considered for possible inclusion on the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial this spring. Once that list of official line-of-duty deaths has been finalized, we will begin the long process of planning where each name will be inscribed on the sacred Walls of Remembrance. The engraving will begin in April of this year, and will conclude well before the 35th Annual Candlelight Vigil on May 13, 2023.
