You're misreading. England is 0.7 per year from shooting: The organisation said 256, including PC Bone and PC Hughes, have been shot since 1945. That's roughly 3 a year, and includes Northern Ireland during the Troubles which is 80% of the total. England: 51 shot and 19 stabbed in total since 1945. So roughly one death a year since 1945 from shooting or stabbing. The 10 to 15 a year is police killed in the line of duty by all means, including traffic accidents.
