SW Washington Sheriff dies of self-inflicted gun shot

Psychological well-being should be part of continuing career education in law enforcement. Like the push to remove the stigma of therapy for returning veterans, the same should be done for police officers. The culture needs to be changed from the inside out and the jerks who make light of emotional troubles should be called out immediately. Regular evaluations for all should be given like importance as other protective gear.

PTSD?

R.I.P Sheriff

Bump Dave (ssu459). I hope he finds the peace he went looking for. :-/

This is indeed tragic.No one knows what demons invade the hearts and minds of another person.Too bad he didn't talk it through with a trusted friend.
