The verdict

Police Department runs at 201% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Municipal Government workplace, earning a grade F.

Police Department: 6.4 TCR = 201% of Municipal Government BLS 3.2 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Police Department safety composite

Police Department scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 53%), 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).

Narrower to Connecticut alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #17 safest of 94 Municipal Government employers in Connecticut.

Police Department (126 employees, TCR 6.4) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 95 employees and a TCR of 9.5

Police Department has more employees than the Municipal Government median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 9.5.
