Suicide prevention, intervention, & postvention: Policy guidance for law enforcement agencies

Based on the authors research, it appears that there is still a significant gap in the number of law enforcement agencies that have written policies and procedures to prevent suicide, intervene when an officer is at risk for  suicide, or provide support after a suicide occurs. This resource seeks to fill that gap by providing guidance and outlining recommendations that should be considered by agencies and the law enforcement profession when  developing these policies. This resource is designed to complement existing agency policies on related issues such as peer support, wellness, and employee assistance programs (EAP).
