'Great starting point': Summit looks to combat rash of officer suicides with novel resiliency program.
Amid the hustle and bustle of getting their four children ready for school, Rachel exchanged a quick"I love you" with her husband of 14 years before they split up to drop their children off and go to their respective jobs -- Edward a veteran detective with the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office major crimes unit and Rachel was getting back into the workforce as a part-time reading teacher.
According to Blue H.E.L.P. a nonprofit organization that tracks on-duty and retired law enforcement suicides in the U.S in recent years, 167 law enforcement officers died by suicide in 2018. Nearly as many have died through Sept. 19 of this year. The military is coping with a similar problem as well.
The program stemmed from the death of Mercer County Sheriff's Det. Pablo Santiago, Grewal said. Grewal met Santiago last fall, and they talked about doing community service together and took a selfie. On Dec. 26, 2018, Santiago died by suicide inside a government building. The RPO will be"specifically trained in -- and ultimately train their departments in – resiliency," the AG's office said. Officers have the option of reaching out to any RPO in the system if they don't feel comfortable talking to an officer in their home agency.
