To serve and protect. How many die each year? Need data base to count?

I can not find data of how many people die each year at the hands of peace officers.
There's data on just about every other cause of death in the US, but not this.
Is there data somewhere I haven't found?
Could ATS track these numbers somewhere? Could provide information that would indicate when the SHTF?
No excuses for the deaths, not needed, just a number. Might indicate suicide rates by peace officers, has gone main stream. So how do we get them to visit the terminally ill, could take care of that problem. Already used to handle unruly children and the mentally challenged, the homeless, and the most dangerous pot heads. And how about eugenics, maybe posters in peace officers cars showing pics of the undesirables.

Maybe wrong forum, ranting, I should wait until later in day to read the news.

The data on the number of civilians that die by the action of Police Officers nationally is a classified statistic gathered by the FBI.

It has been decided that You as a normal citizen do not have a “need to know” this rate.

Does that mean if someone tried to collect that data would be breaking the law?
Google might make it possible?
