Thank Montana’s Law Enforcement Officers During National Police Week

By Austin Knudsen

Since it was established by John F. Kenne- dy’s presidential proclamation in 1962, Ameri- cans have recognized May 15 as National Police Officer Memorial Day and the week surrounding it as National Police Week to honor the service of law enforcement officers. In Montana, 128 law enforcement officers have died in the line of duty, including nine Montana Department of Justice employees - eight Highway Patrol Troopers and one Divi- sion of Criminal Investigation agent. We were fortunate that none were killed during the last year, but that doesn’t mean that the job is safer than years past. The methamphetamine epidemic that swept our state in recent years has led to a spike in violent crime of 48 percent from 2013 to 2019. Last year, we saw another alarming rise in crime and criminals who seem to be growing bolder and more violent. We can’t forget that it is our officers who put their lives on the line every day to protect their communities. They also face additional scrutiny - and 67th legislative session recap part 2 often hostility - toward law enforcement in a way that previous generations have not.
