I think it sounds like a good idea. It might finally bridge the gap between criminal justic and public saftey which really run hand in hand in th real world. There are mamy police officers that spend a great deal of time saving lives like a paramedic and there are paramedica and firefighters that sometimes save lives in a combat type zone. Remember the 1990’s LA riots and the firemen getting shot at?
