Category talk:American police officers killed in the line of duty

Notable?
OK dumb question - on what basis are officers killed in the line of duty notable - just because their deaths are reported in the media? Just trying to understand notability here. – ukexpat (talk) 00:57, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Notability isn't relevant to a category; the people in the category are obviously all notable, or they wouldn't have articles on them. -- Zsero (talk) 03:15, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
