The Silent Killer - Driving

click title for link

Most in Law Enforcement take for granted that driving at work is just like driving to the store.

But if fact for the last several years the number of officers killed in car crashes has matched the number of those killed by gunfire.

This ever changing page will hopefully encourage officers and police administrators to take a

more serious look at this silent killer of law enforcement.
