Removing the burden of a mortgage and ensuring the two officers' wives and children will have a place to live must have relieved some of the grief and uncertainty the women faced. I cannot imagine the feelings of panic about the future they immediately had to respond to while also trying to process the huge weight of pain that had been placed on their shoulders.

I hope they, and others like them, can someday replace some of their hurt and loneliness with new experiences, relationships, and happiness. They certainly deserve it.

I think we can all agree that responding to domestic violence calls has to be one of the most dangerous situations that officers face. Sometimes they are immediately ambushed and taking rifle fire when they exit their vehicles.

This text was copied from a blog presented by American Military University. The blog explores the challenges faced by law enforcement officers, and its content will be of interest to members engaged in that field. I have included a link below to some of those discussions about DV response.

Responding to domestic violence calls for service is one of the most volatile and dangerous situations for police officers. They lead to about 14 percent of officer deaths every year, according to the FBI. Such calls are also one of the most common. Domestic violence constitutes anywhere from 15 to 50 percent of total calls received by police, according to the National Institute of Justice. Given how dangerous and common these situations are, officers must be trained to take enhanced precautions so they understand that anyone present at such a scene can pose a threat.

This is a more detailed account of the incident that led to the deaths of Sgt. Michael Paredes, 42, and Officer Joseph Santana, 31. The perpetrator killed himself during a gunfight with other responding officers. Both men had families with small children.

During an emotional memorial service Thursday filled with law enforcement personnel, the two El Monte police officers who were killed in the line duty were remembered as "valiant heroes." But to their families, they were simply loving fathers.
