Being a cop may seem like dangerous work, but it’s not nearly as fatal as those who catch fish. The profession with the highest rate of fatalities last year was fishermen, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. After that it was loggers; aircraft pilots and flight engineers; farmers and ranchers; mining machines operators; roofers; garbage collectors; commercial drivers and truck drivers; heavy machine installers and repairers; and then, finally, in tenth place, police and sheriff’s patrol officers.
