"End of Watch" (EOW) signifies the conclusion of a police officer’s duty, either at the end of a shift or, more solemnly, upon their death in the line of duty.
In everyday law enforcement, End of Watch marks the official end of an officer’s shift. Officers sign off in their duty logs, confirming that all responsibilities, equipment checks, and reports are completed, ensuring accountability and safety for themselves and the department. This usage is procedural and is often recorded in official police reports or digital logging systems.
"When a police officer is killed, it's not an agency that loses an officer, it's an entire nation."
— Chris Cosgriff, ODMP Founder
