Previous research has examined many aspects of traffic stop incidents, particularly when officers mortally wound civilians. However, accounts of peace officers feloniously killed during traffic stop incidents have received much less empirical review. The goal of this study was to establish a profile of fatal peace officer traffic stops and felony traffic stop encounters utilizing content analysis of federal, state, and local opensource data. Demographic and incident level characteristics of law enforcement officers feloniously killed during the course of traffic stops revealed an average tenure of 9.59 years, were alone in their patrol vehicle at the time of the fatal incident, and were killed during the ante phase of the stop. Firearms were overwhelmingly used in the incidents, most suspects worked alone, and the majority of incidents involved a non-felony traffic stop. Our study contributes to an already growing body of literature on traffic stop fatalities by being one of the first to establish a profile of United States peace officers feloniously killed during traffic stops.
