Police Suicide Reporting
The National Police Suicide Foundation is not a research organization. We are dedicated to providing
resources for officers, agencies, and families. However, in order for us to be able to serve the needs of
the law enforcement family, the more information we can gather on the police suicide mechanism for
pro-active training, the better. By gathering as much information as we can, we can provide a profile that
helps identify at-risk officers before this tragedy strikes. This information has proven to be an invaluable
tool.
We request that anyone having information on a police suicide please contact us, using the form below.
Because we are mindful that some agencies prohibit the release of information by their officers, and that
some family members may not be aware that there is a way to make notifications, we have developed a
"blind form" that assists in providing anonymity for the submitting party. Once you submit this form, it is
transmitted to the Foundation's email, with the sender information removed. Since we have no means to
contact the submitter back because that contact information is removed, we appreciate as much
information as you can provide. The Foundation then uses this information to keep its training, both
pro-active and post-event, current.
At a minimum, we require the officers name, agency including state, and date of death. We appreciate
any additional information such as location, any stressors identified or suspected as being a catalyst, and
method. Any additional details that can be provided are greatly appreciated.
The Foundation has a policy that we do not release this officer or agency specific information
indiscriminently. We respect the privacy of the families and agencies involved, and do not want to
revictimize families or agencies. Additionally, we do not release this specific case information to the
media.
