 Around the world, every year thousands of police officers are killed or injured in the line of duty while serving their fellow citizens and the cause of justice. This is why Interpol has made the 7th of March the International Day of Remembrance for Fallen Officers. As Interpol Secretary General, too often I send condolences to a police chief in one of our 194 member countries after the death of an officer simply doing their job. I ask everyone to take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices made by police officers who support our joint efforts to make the world a safer place and the friends and families left behind.
