Police suicides remind us that our folks in blue get the blues, too to a deadly degree
Reports of the recent death of a Chicago police officer from a self-inflicted gunshot reminded me of a sadly startling statistic: Police in recent years have been more likely to die by suicide than in the line of duty.
That s according to Blue H.E.L.P., a Massachusetts-based nonprofit that tracks police suicides. Since the organization relies mainly on information submitted by current and retired officers, spokesmen say, the true totals are likely higher and tend to grow as more information is submitted and verified.

The Chicago Police Department on Monday announced a new anti-gun violence initiative following another violent weekend, during which more than 50 people were shot in the city and 11 died.
Police Superintendent David Brown announced that the department would be creating a team of 50 officers who will target gun traffickers, straw buyers, disreputable licensed firearm dealers and anyone who contributes to bringing illegal guns into Chicago, ABC News reports. The point of this investigations team which is new and unique, and a first in its class is to get the gun before it hits the streets at the trafficking level, Brown said at a news conference. These third parties need to hear me loud and clear: We re coming for you, and we re going to try to charge you with the highest charge we can, if not in the federal system, then at the state attorney s office.
