Resumen del Editor

America’s law enforcement officers are significantly more likely to die by suicide than being murdered in the line of duty. For years mental health professionals have come alongside officers with treatment, assistance, and counsel. Yet, the suicide rate continues to increase. Can this ever-increasing suicide rate among these warriors be stopped? In Suicide is Not an Option retired police officer Tim Rupp approaches suicide from a spiritual health perspective. His street experience as a patrol officer, homicide detective, and police supervisor enables him to relate the challenges faced by officers today. Using personal accounts, clear language, and practical reasoning, Rupp argues there is meaning to life beyond the individual. A meaning so deep it transcends life on earth.Humans are not only physical and mental beings, but spiritual beings who yearn for a yet to be experienced life beyond. This eternal hope instilled in every person gives meaning to life and a reason to hope. Hope for more, hope for new, hope for better. Rupp believes that this intrinsic hope is a key to reduce not only the suicide rate among our warriors, but across humanity.

Faith, Hope and Love is the answer.

I appreciate this author’s perspective and wisdom. His personal experiences combined with faith help understand the heart of police officers and the struggles they face.

If you can do nothing else for an officer, a kind word of gratitude just might offer them enough hope to keep going.

If you are reading this and you are an officer, thank you and may God bless you.
