Police: 4.8 TCR = 151% of Police departments (except American Indian or Alaska Native) BLS 3.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Police safety composite

Police scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 81% 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).
