Summary

"The Police Radar Health Study ... showed that, for the most types of cancers, there was no higher risk among police officers than among the general population. In fact, the incidence of testicular cancer, the concern that prompted the study is 20 percent lower among police officers.The study did reveal that melanoma, the more serious kind of skin cancer, is apparently about eight times higher among police officers than the general public."
