After 4th NYPD officer dies by suicide in 3 weeks, NYPD commissioner says the department will review how it tackles mental health and suicide prevention, including offering peer-to-peer counseling at every police station.
In April, the NYPD and the Police Executive Research Forum, an organization that works to improve the professionalism of policing, hosted a symposium on law enforcement suicide. The forum's executive director, Chuck Wexler, said an important takeaway was that police departments and other law enforcement agencies must do a better job of capturing and analyzing police suicide data because"the research is really uneven.
"There's no question that what makes police officers at-risk is because they have an occupational need to have a firearm, and in many of these cases, firearms are the way officers take their lives," Wexler said."You've got a combustible mixture when you have someone who's dealing with some significant personal issues and the availability of a firearm."
"Sometimes we get cops who really need to vent, and so you understand the lingo and the jargon. You might not have worked at the same exact precinct or done the same exact job, but you know what they're talking about," he added.
