More Police Lost To Suicides Than Homicides
(Cleveland, Ohio) According to this report, studies indicate that police officers are more likely to commit suicide than be killed in the line of duty. In the Cleveland Police Department, eight officers have killed themselves since 1999.
The National POLICE Suicide Foundation provides training and assistance in suicide prevention among police officers. There is a ticker on the organization's website which states the disturbing statistic that a police officer commits suicide every 22 hours in the United States.
