Blue H.E.L.P. (an organization that strives to reduce mental health
stigma through education, advocate for benefits for those suffering from
post-traumatic stress, and bring awareness to suicide and mental health
issues of law enforcement officers) recently reported that, in 2018, at
least 159 officers died by suicide (including thirteen from New
England), nine percent more than the total number of line-of-duty deaths
