As a police man, you may know that

◆  In America, a law enforcement officer is killed in the line of duty every 57 hours on average. Most law enforcement officers are killed with firearms, particularly handguns.

◆  In Canada, being a police officer in Canada ranks second in all professions when considering the risk of on-the-job homicide. Police officers killed in the line of duty were almost invariably shot to death. Between 1961 and 2009, 92% of all officer-related killings were committed with a firearm. Of these, rifles or shotguns (including sawed-off) accounted for 56% of deaths while handguns were used in 44% of these killings. Nearly 8 in 10 officers were not wearing protective body armour (such as vests) at the time of the shooting, although this was more commonly the case in the 1960s and 1970s.
