I propose we create a sticker and category page to recognize and remember fallen officers. It would be for any law enforcement officer killed in the line of duty.

You could use this occupation template - {{Occupation |image=ADWP-272.png|text=was a Law Enforcement Officer killed in the line of duty.}}

(The image is meant to be neither male, nor female.) 

There is an End of Watch sticker: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Template:End_of_Watch

It should suffice as the sticker for the profile. You could add the category as well. If the person was from the US, many state categories are already set up.
Sadly the image doesn't look like law enforcement to me, I'm British. Do we need a more inclusive image?

Have an old-style "Bobby" 

I agree with the image shown.  I do not like it, it does not show ALL Law Enforcement.  The uniforms are different throughout the United States, mostly between cities (Police Officers) and county (Deputy Sheriffs), let alone what C. Mackinnon has already mentioned, that it does not show world wide images. Just my two cents worth, from a retired Deputy who has buried two co-workers and two city friends.
Nobody says anyone has to use any image I have created.  I am more than happy to keep them to myself.  
If you do not like any of the images already on Wikitree (on my pages, or somebody else's pages), then create your own and upload it for use.  
Or just use the End of Watch template posted by Natalie, and accept that it is not customisable image-wise, and will only show the same black ribbon as used for the Military and War Project's Killed in Action sticker.

For a different occ. sticker, where do you put the actual image (not image title) ? Thanks

I'm not quite sure what you're asking.

How does WikiTree find this image ?

{{Occupation |image=Fireman.jpg|text=

Where did you see it?
I didn’t see it anywhere. I want to put a sticker like this on a profile I manage. But don’t I need to tell Wikitree how or where to find an image with that name?
Well, yes, but such an image must already exist on Wikitree.

Do you have an image in mind?  or is there one already somewhere on an images page?

(What KIND of "fireman" do you mean?  The word means different things depending on culture.)

Fireman was just an example.

Where do you put these kind of free occupation images ?

I have a few space pages, but I keep the coded images here, Joelle has one (don't be put off by the page name, it was created before the occupation template existed, and the religion template was pretty much a generic use-for-anything one), Natalie has one, Craig has one - and I'm sure there are others I don't have linked.
