26 Security Officers Murdered-More Than 300 Gun Incidents in First 90 Days of 2021
Charlotte NC March 29 2021
Three months into 2021, and the private security profession has been struggling with having their employees murdered and critically injured.
This year has now seen 26 officers murdered on duty.
All but three, have been killed by gunfire.
There have been more than three hundred incidents involving firearms and private security.
A staggering figure when considering that many businesses have been closed or operating on limited hours for over a year.
While violence against private security officers is nothing new, it is increasing at a rate not seen in the seventeen years that Private Officer International has begun collecting statistical data.
Forty-six other security officers and private police have died from the Coronavirus during these months as well.
Three security officers have also died in vehicle accidents, three others died from unknown causes, one officer drowned, and five security officers died on duty because of a medical emergency.
