Doing quick research says about 1 shot at per day, 1-2 fatalities per week, and about 26,000 assaults per year

That’s total officers shot, not specifically for raids.

A NYT investigation indicated there were “at least 13” officer deaths tied to forced entry raids from 2010-2016, so around 2/year. It’s unclear how many other fatalities happen in no knock raids. Given that there are only 50-60 total fatalities/year it’s surprising there isn’t comprehensive data for this.

There are an estimated 20k-80k no-knock warrants in the US every year for context.
