Welcome to The Pain Behind The Badge©. The purpose of this site is two-fold: not only to showcase the hour-long documentary film that finally addresses the significant problem of law enforcement suicides, but also to help YOU find help for those who might be contemplating taking their own life. The number of officers, deputies, and agents who take their own lives is almost three times that of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty; on average, we lose a first responder to suicide at the rate of ONE PER DAY. Yet in spite of the staggering frequency of law enforcement suicides, widely-available resources are frequently neglected.

Much discussion dances around the stresses that law enforcement officers are subject to, but rarely are these stresses understood. There are a myriad of factors that drive law enforcement officers to take their own lives, but there are even more numerous resources available to help those who might be contemplating suicide. The mission of The Pain Behind The Badge© is to assist those who might be on the verge of committing suicide to find the help they need.

If you are considering taking your own life, thank you for visiting and we pray that we can convince you otherwise. If you are the loved one of someone who might be in danger of committing suicide, please watch our film preview . If you are a law enforcement supervisor or manager, you may be interested to know that in addition to the hour-long documentary film we offer the Pain Behind The Badge Seminar©.
