FYI-
In the U.S., non-police males have a life-expectancy of 73 years. Policemen in the U.S. have a life expectancy of 53-66 years, depending on which research one decides to embrace. In addition, police submit workmen’s compensation claims six times higher than the rate of other employees, and commit suicide two to six times the national average. Hey, and that’s just death and injury from “natural”, “accidental” and self-inflicted causes! Add the fact that 2/3’s of U.S. policemen slain feloniously are slain during hours we generally associate with darkness, and we have yet another concern for our embattled, shift working officer – staying alert enough to prevail when attacked.
