One is "few"

The leading cause of death among police officers, is traffic
accidents.

The majority of police shootings, are shootings done with their own
weapon, after having it taken away from them by the suspect, who didnt
have one of his own.

Shall we disarm all police officers for their own safety?

I dunno.

I think _I_ would feel safer.

The English Bobbies really impressed me.
They were approachable.

They didn't seem like tough guys - which many police officers here seem
to want to be.

And, since they are never around when a crime is being comitted...
