The men and women of our law enforcement work tirelessly to serve and protect the public. In doing so, police officers face a higher risk of incurring a work-related injury or illness than other occupations. The most common risk that is posed to police officers is injury that results due to persons or animals.
According to the FBI’s most recent report, in 2016 alone, 57,180 police officers were assaulted in the line of duty. The recent events in Palmyra show that such violence against police officers are not diminishing.
A police officer in Palmyra responded to a domestic dispute and was assaulted by a woman involved in the dispute. The woman was charged and sent to Lebanon County Prison.
Police officers face the risk of being assaulted on a daily basis. In addition, police officers also face the risk of vehicle accidents, falls, physical stress, overexertion, and exposure to fire and hazardous substances. These injuries often cause police officers to take time off from their job which takes a financial toll on their family.
