Assessing cardiac risks in police officers.
It is necessary to assess the cardiovascular risks of police officers in order to address the issue of police officer safety, as well as the issue of public safety.

Increased understanding of pathophysiology of coronary vascular disease leads to a different approach to this problem. This modified approach is discussed.
