One of my top priorities during my term as president of the IACP is keeping our officers safe. Many times, when we think of officer safety, we only concentrate on vest wear. But we also should focus on one of the deadliest aspects of a law enforcement officer’s career: the roadway. More than 20 percent of the 19 law enforcement officers who died accidentally—as opposed to feloniously—so far this year were struck and killed by vehicles. The year 2011 is the first time in many years that felonious deaths of law enforcement officers were higher than traffic crashes. Yet crashes remain the second leading cause of death among law enforcement officers.
