This year so far, we have seen a decline of private security officer deaths from violent attacks, vehicle accidents, homicides and sudden medical emergency deaths.

This is largely in part of the closure of thousands of businesses due to the COVID-19 pandemic and stay at home orders.

But even with this decrease of activity, the death toll of security officers today,
stands at 113.

Knife Homicide

Vehicle Accident  

Other -Tornado Deaths       

While we have confirmed that 113 Security Officers have died, we know that there are others who have passed away from the virus or died on-duty as the result of violence, and they have not been memorialized in online obituaries, news media reports, press releases or other public acknowledgment.

As states begin to reopen businesses, and the summer approaches, security officer assaults and deaths will surely rise as will those associated with the COVID-19 virus.

Please report any assault or death to helpdesk@privateofficer.com.

Stay safe, use PPE as necessary and be alert to your surroundings.
