A fourth New York City police officer has killed himself this month, New York police said Thursday. It's the latest death in what the city's top cop has called a"mental-health crisis."
On June 14, after a"promising 29-year-old police officer with six years on the job" died behind the Staten Island precinct where he worked, Police Commissioner James P. O'Neill appealed to members of the nation's largest police force to seek help. "This is a mental-health crisis. And we -- the NYPD and the law enforcement profession as a whole -- absolutely must take action," O'Neill said in a statement."This cannot be allowed to continue.
— Commissioner O'Neill June 15, 2019 O'Neill asked members to"connect yourself or your friends and colleagues to the assistance that is so close by. We must take care of each other. We must address the issue -- now --- because it will not go away on its own. We must speak out. And we must end this crisis, together."Commissioner's open letter Earlier this month, the commissioner made a similar appeal in an open letter he sent to members of the his department.
