As we continue through the holiday season, please be vigilant with yourselves and those around you. Remember that your life is worthwhile; there is help and hope.

Our condolences go out to the family and friends of the 156 officers we have lost to suicide this year. We hope that we have recorded them all because there are too many losses, too many families suffering.

If you are in need this season, please seek help:

If you are having suicidal thoughts and are in crisis, you are not alone- help is available and you have options. You matter.

Options include:

1) Lifeline: Call 800.273.TALK (8255)
2) Crisis Text Line: Law enforcement text BLUE to 741741, others text TALK to 741741
3) Call 911 for emergencies
4) Check with your department for services including peer support

Report a LEO suicide confidentially to https://bluehelp.org/submit-an-officer so we can honor them all.
