The verdict

Police Department runs at 405% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Local Government workplace, earning a grade F.

Police Department: 13.0 TCR = 405% of Local Government BLS 3.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Police Department safety composite

Police Department scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 55% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 6%), 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).

Grade F

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Illinois alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #11 safest of 12 Local Government employers in Illinois.

Police Department (197 employees, TCR 13.0) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 282 employees and a TCR of 4.8

Police Department has fewer employees than the Local Government median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.8. 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.
