The stressors related to the duties of a law enforcement officer are frequently ignored by the law enforcement agency. These stressors can lead to police suicide, which has stimulated a deeper study into this topic by researchers. The Chief Executives of Florida law enforcement agencies were surveyed to determine what they were doing to combat this issue. The findings indicate although Florida law enforcement agencies provide various programs to help relieve stressors, there is no consistency throughout the state. Based on the survey results, this could be inferred as a fiscal problem.
Suicide among the rank and file of a law enforcement agency is a topic many law enforcement officers don’t discuss. What law enforcement officer is willing to take his or her life? The best possible answer is no law enforcement officer is willing to take their own life. They are here to protect, serve, save lives, and even put their life in harm’s way to protect others. This is just not the case; law enforcement officers are human too and suffer the same and many additional perils that the average citizen does not.
The objective of this research is to see what Florida law enforcement agencies are doing to help recognize and prevent suicides among law enforcement officers.
