The verdict

PO-POLICE runs at 266% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Police Department workplace, earning a grade F.

PO-POLICE: 8.5 TCR = 266% of Police Department BLS 3.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

PO-POLICE safety composite

PO-POLICE scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 54% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 4%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
