Police officers deal with twice as many suicides as they do homicides. This booklet looks at why suicides happen. It takes a behavioral health perspective because police are often involved with suicide related to mental illness. Jail suicide, suicide among police officers, and “suicide by cop” are also addressed. This material will be helpful to both new and experienced law enforcement personnel, especially if used as part of a mental health or crisis intervention training.
