How dangerous is it to be a policewoman?

I have three kids. Would it be far too dangerous and risky? Does anyone have any good links for information or statistics?|||over 10% of the nation's police officers are now women, death rates for women police officers are actually lower than the death rate of the population at large (not surprising, considering very few officers are 80 years old). i have some friends who are policewomen, i think it is great and although it does expose you to some risks that you may not otherwise face, it also prepares you to deal with things that you may randomly face regardless of weather or not you are a police officer-like self defense and things.
