Keep this is a list of people so the relevant guideline to pass is
WP:NLIST. Lists which provide navigation or information are usually kept. This list provides information. The death of a police officer is dramatic yet the officer may not merit an individual article, so the list is an appropriate placement. Additionally the fact that another list of Sherifs was deleted does not mean this list should be deleted - we may find a new
WP:LOCALCONSENSUS.

Delete (plus delete the other "List of community XYZ officers killed in the line of duty" articles). Besides the reasons mentioned above, this article is but one of the many "deaths when law enforcement is involved" articles. In fact we have two broad types of articles: 1. "killed in the line of duty" (see:
List of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty in the United States) and 2. "killing of XYZ at the hands of law enforcement" (see:
List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States, December 2012). But in the non-WP real world we have many different types of
killing. Or I should say we have many different
causes of death. Our WP editing problem is that using the term "killing" (or "killed") is inherently POV. Deleting this article is one step towards a needed NPOV cleanup. –

Delete We have a consolidated list for all LEOs killed, and they come from thousands of police and sheriff departments; it is not reasonable to split this out for every city.
