Abstract
This study explores roadside collision risks among Canadian police officers, investigating concerns, contributing factors, training, and technology adoption. A survey of 59 officers on traffic-related assignments reveals that 19 officers experienced at least one real collision (30 real collisions in total), and all of them experienced at least one near-miss collision (136 near miss collisions in total) during their services. In 86% of all collisions, cars approached from behind. While 81% of officers received minimal collision prevention training, 87% acknowledged the benefits of a collision warning device, emphasizing the need for comprehensive training and technology implementation to enhance officer safety.
