Steven Abboud - Supporting Fallen Officers

Steven Abboud lends his support to charities that aid the families, and those left behind by Officers who have fallen in the line of duty. He understands that law enforcement is a dangerous and selfless job. A large majority of the men and women who work in the law enforcement field are people who want to save lives and help others. For them, the dangers are outweighed by the good they can do.

There are many dangerous jobs that can result in death. In fact, working in law enforcement is ranked number 10 on the Bureau of Labor Statistic’s list of top 10 deadliest jobs. However, working as a police officer or law enforcement official does have its risks and dangers. Officers face the threat of targeted violence and attempted murder on a regular basis. They are also often placed in dangerous situations and are prone to accidents while on the job.

Police officers face different dangers based on what city they are located in, and the size of that city. In cities that have a high population, crime is more common simply because of the number of people. A higher concentration of people can lead to a higher crime rate, therefore working in a large city can be dangerous for a police officer. In this environment, he or she may be faced with more prejudice and violence. Another factor to consider is that a major cause of death for officers are auto accidents. In a large city, officers face this threat more so than in small cities and towns.

Being a police officer is dangerous due to prejudice against law enforcement, auto accidents, and fire arm accidents. However, it is a job well worth the risk. Steven Abboud has a high respect for officers and hopes to bring a less-lethal weapon to the law enforcement community to help prevent officers from falling in the line of duty.
