New numbers say 2007 was one of the deadliest years for law enforcement officers nationwide in more than a decade.
The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund and Concerns of Police Survivors data report recently counted the deaths of 186 officers. That's up from 145 last year. However, Virginia had only two law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty this year. Ten were killed in Virginia last year.
