Police suicides that are "in the line of duty"

Canada has taken a big step into the 21st century by being the first to finally recognize that work-related emotional trauma leading to the suicide of a police officer can be considered "in the line of duty."

In the US, police agencies continue to stand fast in refusing to acknowledge that work-related trauma and PTSD can lead to suicide. Of 141 police suicides in 2008 and 144 in 2009, not a single one was attributed to the job. There are cases that cry out to be recognized.

Perhaps our brothers and sisters to the north have given us pause to think.

Wow thats interesting Statistics!

You would never have thought that officers commit suicide!
