Being a cop in NYC is statistically not very dangerous. Sanitation workers also put their lives on the line. And have more deaths.


Probably more dangerous than the software developers.


Given that nearly half of work-related casualties police officers experience come down to things like heart attacks on the job, I'd be interested in seeing the statistics. Sitting in front of a computer cannot be good for long-term heart health.

Either way, it's more dangerous to be a pizza delivery boy than it is to be a cop.
