AB Using correctional officer data from the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial (NLEOMF) database, we describe the characteristics of U.S. correctional officers killed in line of duty in the past decade, and explore how the hazard probability changed over the life span and factors related to these changes. Survival analysis results show that several demographic characteristics were significantly related to changes in hazard probabilities. Study results provided the most recent statistics on profiles of U.S. correctional officers killed in line of duty. Findings have implications for prevention programs aimed at increasing correctional officer safety.
