A FBI law enforcement bulletin from 1996 stated that "during 1994, a record 11 New York City police officers committed suicide; only two officers were killed by criminals that year. Two homicides and 11 suicides--at that rate, police officers are killing themselves faster than they are being killed by criminals." There are several factors why officers commit suicide. Getting ridiculed by other officers, loss of friends, the stigma that is associated with being diagnosed with a mental disorder, and limited career options are just a few of the reasons associated with this.
