Officer Safety & You
It’s past time for officer safety to be a primary part of the law
enforcement culture. The new Street Survival Seminar addresses this
head-on by examining from the outset how law enforcement officers
actually lose their lives. We address the “Fatal Four” the most common
causes of deaths in our profession: felonious assaults, roadway related,
heart attacks, suicide.
In a recent Bulletproof Warrior
seminar we taught, Lt. Col. Dave Grossman talked about being prepared in
mind, body and spirit. He challenged all to self-assess: Are you truly
prepared on all levels to survive this profession and live a long and
productive life?
Check the stats for this year on www.ODMP.org
and note two things: 1) the majority of deaths aren’t due to felonious
assaults and 2) not all law enforcement deaths are listed on that site,
only those that occurred on duty. What about off-duty issues often
ignored culturally—heart attacks and suicide?
We chose this profession. We need to face the music. Ultimately, officer safety comes down to each of you.
Stay safe!
