Description
The entire law enforcement community is facing a tragic reality: Suicide risks rank about 54% higher for those in law enforcement, according to Houston Police Officers' Union president Douglas Griffith.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office can attest to the massive impact it can have on a department -- they're feeling the sting a bit more.
Four of their own -- one current and three former employees -- recently died by suicide. HCSO's behavioral health team said it's important to break down the stigma associated with mental health to possibly save more lives.
