Between 2009 and 2011, line-of-duty officer killings in the US rose a staggering 42%, with overall officer deaths increasing over 60%. Not only were more officers being murdered, more and more were being targeted, ambushed, and slain in numbers. Although 2012/2013 saw a net decline, the numbers are again sharply rising in 2014, with gun related officer killings up over 60%.

​There are countless personal stories going untold beneath these numbers, and these fallen heroes deserve a voice, as do their families, loved ones and partners who are struggling to pick up the pieces these tragedies leave behind.

​For the past year and a half, a production crew comprised of both film industry and public safety professionals has been traveling to police agencies across the country, large and small, urban and rural, candidly interviewing command staff, line officers, city officials and the public in areas that have lost officers. Along the way, they have captured intimate accounts of heroism and loss. Through the words of those who have lived beside these tragedies, these stories will be told. 

What makes this project unique is that it is being funded by contributions from the national law enforcement community, along with our extended family and public supporters. Without your continuing support, this film simply could not be made.   

Not only will this film serve as a snapshot of history, but its raw honesty and intimately candid perspective will serve as a tribute to all those who have sacrificed everything so that we may enjoy the safety and freedoms we all take for granted.
