TW: Dealing with colleagues dying by suicide
We've had a couple of our colleagues dying by suicide in recent months. To me, it highlights that LE are expected to be effective machines at all times in extremely challenging conditions and that asking for help is seen as a weakness by management, completely and immediately diminishing any opportunities for moving up the ranks. Our members are humans when clocking out, with lives and families and problems like everyone else. Interested in how other departments deals with this matters.
EDIT: Just lost another officer, 18 hours after posting this.
