Or doing the pursuits at all, for that matter.

In a society where the government is surveiling every other person and have cameras everywhere, the old "if we don't get our perp now he's gone forever" trope is bullshit.

As much as they make for entertaining TV and make cops feel all macho and accomplished, car chases are COMPLETELY unnecessary reckless endangerment in almost all cases.

Can't really compare a position that only 45 people have had over a 250 year period with regular jobs, though.

Besides, the last time a president died in office, my boomer dad was 12 years old. The last time a logfighter died on the job was probably some time this month if not this week.
