My husband is a Police Motor Officer and came very close to dying 18 months ago on duty when a driver crossed the centerline and hit him head on while he was on his police motorcyle. He has since spent 120 days in the hospital, had 10 surgeries, had to be medically retired, and will be disabled for the rest of his life. Were his extensive injuries in the line of duty? Of course they were - even if it didn't happen in a confrontation with a "bad guy." He was performing his duties as a public servant. Is Officer Tara Drummond's death any less of a line-of duty situation? Absolutely not! S
