Our job is dangerous by default. We put people in very dangerous situations, work in some of the most difficult situations outside of combat, and tell people to be safe. Being safe does not allow us to successfully execute our responsibilities. In a society that is becoming more risk adverse, it is time for our public safety partners to become risk managers. We can do this with three precepts: 1. Leading by example. 2. Developing organizations that promote critical thinking. 3. Flawless execution. A company I worked for had a saying on the wall: "Attention to detail drives everything we do." That is the truth.
