This study describes and compares intentional and transportation\u2010related fatality rates in US LEOs between 1992 and 2002.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Workplace injury deaths among LEOs from 1992 to 2002 were categorized into \u201cIntentional,\u201d \u201cTransportation\u2010related,\u201d and \u201cOther,\u201d using the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries. Occupations included in this analysis were sheriffs and bailiffs, police and detectives, non\u2010public service guards, and correctional officers. Fatality rates were compared among law enforcement occupations, cause of death, and demographics with rate ratios and 95% confidence intervals.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>During the 11\u2010year period, 2,280 workers died from an occupational injury, for a fatality rate of 11.8 per 100,000 across all LEO occupations. Forty\u2010seven percent were homicides (n\u2009=\u20091,072, rate 5.6 per 100,000), 36% transportation\u2010related (n\u2009=\u2009815, rate 4.2 per 100,000), 11% were due to other causes (n\u2009=\u2009249, rate 1.3 per 100,000), and 5% were workplace suicides (n\u2009=\u2009122, rate 0.6 per 100,000). The proportion of fatalities by cause of death differed significantly between occupations (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001). Sheriffs and bailiffs experience a high risk for occupational injury death compared to other law enforcement occupations. Of the transportation\u2010related fatalities, LEOs were operating a motor\u2010vehicle in 58% of the incidents and 22% of the fatalities were struck by incidents.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Transportation\u2010related deaths were nearly as common as homicides as a cause of occupational injury death among US LEOs. Struck by vehicle incidents remain an important and overlooked cause of death. This research points to opportunities for the prevention of transportation\u2010related deaths in law enforcement. Am.
