National Officer Safety Initiatives: The National Consortium on Preventing Law Enforcement Suicide

Through the newly created National Consortium on Preventing Law Enforcement Suicide (the Consortium), a program of the Bureau of Justice Assistance's National Officer Safety Initiatives, the International Association of Chiefs of Police will lead a national conversation around the issues of officer mental health and suicide. The Consortium provides a national voice to the mental health needs of law enforcement, bringing together experts from law enforcement agencies and families, mental health and suicide prevention services, and academia to raise awareness and prevent law enforcement suicide. The Consortium will lead to the development of suicide awareness and prevention tools and resources for law enforcement officers, agencies, and family members. A comprehensive report on Consortium findings identifying recommendations, policy updates, messaging strategies, and more will also be developed.
