I live in Toronto and I will be graduating from police foundations soon. I'm still undecided on my career path and just wanted some info on dangers of the job.
Police officer is more dangerous. The Brinks truck driver does not respond to unknown calls for service. He only delivers cash, and he is ready for robberies.
The cop pulls over a car for speeding, only to be shot. Because the driver was wanted for armed robbery, but the cop didn't know that. The cop responds to a call of loud music at a house, and gets shot because the people inside were in the middle of a drug deal. And so on, and so on.
