There have been 101 police officers shot this year while on duty as of April 1, a 63 percent increase from 2020, according to the latest figures released by a police union, which also includes numbers for premeditated ambushes along with a state-by-state data breakdown.

With more than 364,000 members, the National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) is considered the largest police union in the country.
