List of Malaysian police officers killed in the line of duty

This is a list of police officers from the Royal Malaysia Police who were killed in the line of duty, based on official records from the year 1915 to date. Line of duty deaths refers to any police officer who died while carrying out the duty that they were obligated and/or authorised to carry out. This would include officers who responded to incidents while off-duty as obligated by the Police Force Act 1967, as well as those commuting to and from their place of duty or training.

Victims' Profile

The ethnic profile of police officers has been traditionally disproportionate compared to the national ethnic profile, with a significantly higher proportion of ethnic Malays, especially in the earlier decades. However, the number of casualties involving ethnic Malay police officers is statistically higher overall due in part to the high mortality rates involving the ethnic Malay community during the Malayan Emergency in the 1950-1970s, and in part to the ethnic composition of the police force.
