How do they define policeman?
I was thinking about being in the military, I think we were losing about 2200 GIs a year under President Reagan, and we weren’t fighting wars, but training was dangerous.
This blurb might answer your question. Good luck to you in whatever field you decide to pursue.
The ODMP maintains a detailed list of criteria.
The site lists law enforcement and prison officers from all levels of government who have died in the line of duty due to criminal violence, accident, injury, illness or natural causes as well as those who are killed off duty if they are targeted for their law enforcement affiliations or if they are acting at the time in an official capacity to protect the safety or property of others.
Military investigators or special agents are included if working for official investigation services, as are other military personnel - including military police and peacekeepers if they are engage in law enforcement at the time of their deaths.
The ODMP does not list deaths that result from such factors as officer misconduct, the influence of voluntarily-imbibed alcohol or controlled substances, suicide, or officer negligence. It also excludes deaths caused by off-duty car accidents or private service to a security company or private military company.
