    The most dangerous part of police work is vehicle accidents, just like delivery drivers.

      Covid was also a top fatality result of police for a while there. Just showcasing their amazing decision making skills as they refuse to get vaccinated.

      Clearly they represent the best of the best there.

        My local city jail literally got shut down by the tail-end of the pandemic, because of all the COVID outbreaks due to none of the cops would wear masks.

      Delivery drivers also are more likely than police to be subject to robberies…

      It’s also not unheard of for robbery to end in murder.

      I worked in a worker’s comp adjacent field for a while. The majority of injuries in police were absolutely vehicular in nature. Second place would be “was trying to chase a far more physically fit suspect on foot and fell/pulled something”, that happens waaaay more frequently than you would expect.
