Law enforcement officers witness a hundreds of traumatic events more than most occupations.
Due to this, law enforcement officers are at a high risk for depression and su***de. Law enforcement officers are more likely to die by su***de than to be killed in the line of duty.
Despite this occupational crisis, over 50% of officers report still a significant stigma surrounding seeking mental health services.
