OUR OPINION Hidden killer hat’s how Sheriff Mark Hunter described the epidemic of suicide T among law enforcement officers nationwide. It’s always been there, he says. But it has only begun to come to light in recent years. As awful a topic it is, facing it head-on is the only way to address it — and to stem the tide of peace officers taking their own lives in greater numbers even than those who mean them harm. In 2018, 159 officers nationwide committed suicide, compared to 144 who Highways now battlegrounds died in the line of duty. That is a staggering figure. Hunter clearly has the right idea, though, Road warriors on the rise in making sure his people get help when they need it and — just as importantly — building oad rage — violent anger of ours was being sent to the ICU caused by the stress and because he had been the victim of up safeguards to reduce some of the pres- R frustration of driving a motor a road rage incident.
