After 4. Roofers; 5. Garbage collectors; 7. Delivery drivers; 8. Farmers; 11. Agricultural workers; 12. Crossing guards; 15. Landscaping supervisors; 21. Grounds maintenance workers.

Or #21 according to this list:

On average, <200 police officers have died because of the job each year over the past decade:
