Summary
The purpose of National Law Enforcement Suicide Awareness Day is to shine a light on the tragedy that is officer suicide as suicide among law enforcement continues to rise.

National Law Enforcement Suicide Awareness Day is observed on September 26th.

It aims to promote an open dialogue regarding a law enforcement officer’s mental health and continue to dispel the stigma of getting help.

According to statistics, police and firefighters die by suicide more often than in the line of duty, and suicide is the leading cause of death in the U.S.

National Law Enforcement Suicide Awareness Day is created to recognize the service of officers lost to suicide, raise awareness about suicide in law enforcement and, to remind officers and their families that they are not alone; help is available. This day will help to reduce the stigma associated with seeking help and, recognize that one moment in time does not define a life.

It was created by Blue H.E.L.P in 2020, to acknowledge the issue, support the families, and continue to raise awareness with an aim to end suicide.

How do I observe this day?
