Not even close - actually, it's far less dangerous than the military, which is a widespread misconception. It depends upon which source you consult but police is usually 14th - 16th most dangerous job. In contrast, aviation/pilot is 3rd. So police is not nearly as dangerous a job as it once, probably, was. Notice at most police traffic stops, there are often two or three police cars before the "stopping" officer even exits his cruiser.

16. Police and sheriff’s patrol officers
