The likelihood of most of these happening is very slim, but there's still a strong risk factor involved with the job.

It's a sad world

Last year a Detective of An Garda Siochana was shot in the head with a shotgun by 3 men trying to rob a money delivery to a credit union

He didn't even know they were there, he was looking inside a car, and they shot him in the back of the head, his weapon holstered

They murdered him in cold blood. Detective Adrian Donohoe. The Gardai know who did it, they just don't have the evidence. The FBI, Dutch police, American Police Departments and the Interpol are helping the Gardai in investigating the death, and so far at least 4 million hours of CCTV footage has been reviewed. It's believed 2 of the men fled to America, while 1 of them is still in Ireland. It's sad to think that the Gardai arrested the men, but didn't have the evidence to prosecute them. But one thing is for sure, none of the helping parties is going to give up until they bring those cold blooded murderers to justice. It was the first death on an on duty officer in 30 years in Ireland.

Man, when that officer was being shot at around the 45 second mark, I could not bear his screaming. It was so upsetting to hear and think about what happened.

 

This is going to sound terrible, but I hope the worst for anyone who has shot or given the worst for someone else.

I completely agree.

It's disturbing what some people are capable of doing and not even care about it, some of those people and many more could easily kill a police officer in cold blood and not even feel a thing. Most people consider police officers as the bad guy or the enemy

Depends a lot on where you are working. In Brazil, at least 500 cops die every year. In São Paulo state, we lost 120 officers last year. Most of them were off-duty. This year is breaking records. Already 35+ Cops killed in São Paulo. 

 

It's common to see off-duty cops getting executed around here.

 

By the way, this happened yesterday

 

Two cops were patrolling when armed men in a motorbike opened fire against the unit. Luckly, they missed almost every shot (they hit a cop in his foot, but he's fine)

That's sad! The first incident where the car crashed scared the crap out of me.

 

I think being a cop in Liberty City is more dangerous, With all the cops or, 'yahoos' running around poorly trained, it can be pretty scary. Especially when they get into vehicles.

 

Those aren't the real dangers of police work. Most of these things could be avoided the real danger of police work is yourself. There are 10 things that get cops killed and when they forget about these 10 rules that is when they get killed. Those get drilled into your head in school, in the academy and in FTO training. Yet some how officers forget them and when you forget them that is when you get killed.

 

Ten Fatal Errors That Have Killed Experienced Police Officers 

1. YOUR ATTITUDE If you fail to keep your mind on the job while on patrol or you carry problems from home into the field, you will start to make errors. It can cost you or other fellow officers their lives. Are you wearing your bullet resistant armor? It could save your life.

2. TOMBSTONE COURAGE No one doubts that you are courageous. But in any situation where time allows wait for the backup. There are few instances where alone, unaided you should try and make a dangerous apprehension.

3. NOT ENOUGH REST To do your job you must be alert. Being sleepy or asleep on the job is not only against regulations but you endanger yourself, the community and all your fellow officers.

4. TAKING A BAD POSITION Never let anyone you are questioning or about to stop get in a better position than you and your vehicle. There is no such thing as a routine call or stop. They are all "unknown risk" calls or stops.

5. DANGER SIGNS As a officer you will get to recognize danger signs. Movements, strange cars, warnings that should alert you to watch your step and approach with caution. Know your beat, your community and watch for what is out of place.

6. FAILURE TO WATCH HANDS OF A SUSPECT Is he or she reaching for a weapon or getting ready to strike you? Where else can a potential killer strike but from his or her hands?

7. RELAXING TOO SOON The rut of false alarms that are accidentally set off. Walking in and asking if the place is being held up. Observe the activity. Never take any call as routine, or just another false alarm. Its your life on the line.

8. IMPROPER USE OR NO HANDCUFFS Once you have made an arrest handcuff the prisoner and do it properly. See that the hands that can kill are safely cuffed.

9. NO SEARCH OR POOR SEARCH There are so many places to hide weapons that your failure to search is a crime against fellow officers. Many criminals carry several weapons and are able and prepared to use them against you.

10. DIRTY OR INOPERATIVE WEAPON Is your firearm clean? Will it fire? How about the ammo? When did you last fire so that you can hit a target in combat conditions? What's the sense of carrying any firearm that may not work?
