Your Vest Won’t Stop This Bullet, a 14-minute video produced by the

that police officers, emergency workers and highway construction crews
face on a daily basis: Unpredictable drivers.
The video is

during traffic incidents in the past ten years, including four Missouri
State Highway Patrol Troopers who have been killed since 2001.
