Work related elimates most of them. Military is another story. But...
Broken right ankle from a SWAT Comp. 1992. Required 3 surgeries. Small finger, right hand broken three times from fights (Mostly parolees). Last time required 2 surgeries but the last knuckle is fused. Just waiting for another fight to unfuse it. Right index knuckle, right ring finger knuckle. (All different fights). Popped a rib out of my spine from a fight in 1993. Just needed a couple of chiropractor visits to get it back in. Ow! Waaay too many scars on hands, and knees from tackling and fighting dirtbags. Torn right ear, sprained both thumbs, and fractured jaw. F'n parolees! |

8 mm drill bit thru left thumb....sideways. Nail bed was (is) a mangled mess. Surgeon did miracles in restoring what was left of it. Nail grew back, but 2x as thick, lumpy, and two spots, the nail does not attach to the bed under it.
Thumb gets cold for no reason now. Aches constantly, and reduced strength and pressure capabilities. That was 10 years ago that it happened. |

Smoke inhalation/asthma attack from putting out fire in jail.
Knees are hooped from slamming prisoners to floor in said jail, never reported it, just kept on working, Tough Guy, you know. Broke left ankle running to hot call - hint: don't step in slime-filled gutters! Numerous wrist and shoulder stuff I never reported. NEW COPS: report ALL your on-duty boo-boos! Someday you will be in your mid-thirties and the stuff will start to creak, groan and pop. You won't be invincible forever. |

Too many contusions, abrasions and lacerations to count. A bad rash after the department switched dry cleaning services (no really). Whiplash and two broken teeth from a drunk that couldn't resist the pretty flashing lights while on a traffic stop. That's why I said F*ck it and left for the private sector.

Well after 6 years on the job..I haven't been hurt in a fight or physical altercation...yet.
My one injury on duty is kind of embarrassing but if natez can fess up about his ahh."head shot". [:D] I was searching a tractor trailer and due to the fact they won't fit between the gates..we call one of our motorized patrol up to make sure no one makes a run for it. Well one of the newbies is in the truck and I want to make a good impression one him so I climb into the trailer even though it only had 1 palate in it. When it came time to get out I bent down, put one hand on the floor of the trailer and jumped out. Unfortunately..the toe of my boot caught on the lip of the trailer floor and now I'm heading head first for the ground. I managed to spin around and get my feet under me for a second but the momentum keeps me going. I landed flat on my back in a slush filled puddle right in front of motorized. Of course I jump right up hoping no one would see me besides the one CO. Well when I went back inside there are 4 of them laughing their asses off saying my execution was good but my form sucked. Didn't report it and could barely get out of bed the next morning! |

More than a few years ago, talking with a handcuffed subject arrested for UFAP and drug trafficking when he suddenly made a running dive for a closed window. Caught him as he broke thru the glass and was out the second story window up to his waist. He didn't get a scratch. I received 40+ stitches in my left hand and still have residual nerve damage.

Once got 3 weeks off. Semi rolled off mobile scales and landed on the end of my foot. I had compression marks on the end of my toes. Doctor said that I was lucky the toes didnt blow out the end.
Workmans comp want to know why it took so long to get to the hospital. Had to write driver a ticket for the weight violation first........ |

Feels like my right shoulder is out of place just underneath the shoulder blade. Chiropractor has me wrap my arms underneath the table and BOOM! Ouch! Back-in! Thanks! |

Ya that's how mine feels on my left arm. The chiro usually just lays me face down and pushes it up a few times. Talk about some loud snapping though...

Dislocated left shoulder falling off of a porch arresting a paint huffer. Went through physical therapy, didn't work so I had arthroscopic surgery and more pt before I could go back to work. Redislocated shoulder again 1 year (almost to the day) later. Required major shoulder reconstruction. Better this time around but I can sure tell when the weather changes. Also had a dog bite that needed 13 stiches to close. Would of shot the dog after that but he bit me right in the web of my right hand and couldn't get my gun out of the holster. Had to settle for putting the dog down manually. [:D]

K9 tore up my arm during a stop to assist on a stolen car. (I was in street clothes) Probably needed about six stitches, but had to leave it open. (I think because the dog had K9 Venereal Disease, and licked itself all the time)
Dislodged from a moving vehicle, doing about 45 mph, during a dope arrest and broke my head, a hand and a leg. I was out about 4 months. (Now, I set off the alarms at airports, and when I get too close to a microwave, I piss all over myself) |
