Suicide has surpassed line of duty deaths as the cause of death for public safety professionals. This presentation will discuss the issue of mental illness in public safety and how to recognize the signs that a friend, co-worker, family member or you are suffering from a mental health issue. Resources that are available to public safety personnel and their families will be discussed. Several cases of public safety personnel who have dealt with mental health issues will be discussed as well as the very different outcomes of each.
