Thank you for participating in the Voluntary Protection Program."

"This report documents the causes of violence to firefighters and EMS responders. It explains the risk factors for violence and presents opportunities to reduce or prevent it.

Finding: Although weapons are present in a small number of violence-related cases, responders may not be equipped to deal with the issue.
