Harris County Cops Struggle with High Suicide Rate

In Harris County, Texas, the law enforcement community is grappling with a high suicide rate among its members, with 54% more risks compared to the general public. The Harris County Sheriff's Office has been particularly affected, with four current and three former employees dying by suicide in recent times. Behavioral health expert Thomas McNeese attributes this to the cumulative effect of exposure to traumatic incidents on a daily basis, which can deplete officers' mental reserves over time. To combat this, the county has established an agency-wide behavioral health division, providing peer support through full-time deputies Karen Altamirano and John Celius, who work to connect with colleagues in need and provide resources during difficult times.
