When I was a Patrolman in the late 80s, about 100 police officers were shot to death each year. One of my most frightening moments was when I received my body armor (relatively new then). I had been waiting a month, still on the job each night working 11-7, and when I put the vest on the first time - I could see how much of me was not protected. Not comforting at all. Lucky for me I was never in need of the vest or more than the vest in 3 years of police work.
I'm glad that it is safer now, and I believe it will be safer still when the US finally gets over drug prohibition.
