The verdict

Police Department runs at 363% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical State police workplace, earning a grade F.

Police Department: 11.6 TCR = 363% of State police BLS 3.2 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Police Department safety composite

Police Department scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 14%), 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).

716 State police establishments

Safer than 38% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 9.5.

Grade F

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Minnesota alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #44 safest of 71 State police employers in Minnesota.

Police Department (91 employees, TCR 11.6) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 95 employees and a TCR of 9.5

Police Department has fewer employees than the State police median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 9.5. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
