Back to police officer deaths.......one of our officers here died yesterday of natural causes. He was only 47 and had not been ill......it is really hitting the law enforcement community hard around here.

They believe it was a heart attack......no previous signs.........his children are only 6 and 8 yrs old......tough deal. Not that it is ever great.....

So the concern is for premature deaths related to stress as well as deaths from injury on the job?
I can see that. LE has to be one of the most stress related professions.
But, I don't see anything that can be done about it. Have the people taking a close look at this found any preventives?

Nope.....high incidence of divorce and alcoholism runs in the profession also.
