Warning: This story includes discussion of suicide.

The suicide deaths of four current and former Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department employees over a 24-hour span have prompted a plea from Sheriff Robert Luna urging deputies to check on the well-being of their colleagues and friends.

“We are stunned to learn of these deaths, and it has sent shock waves of emotions throughout the department as we try and cope with the loss of not just one, but four beloved active and retired members of our department family,” Luna said in an emailed statement Tuesday. “During trying times like these it’s important for personnel regardless of rank or position to check on the well-being of other colleagues and friends.”

Luna said he had the “deepest concern for our employees’ well-being,” adding that the department was “urgently exploring avenues to reduce work stress factors to support our employees’ work and personal lives.” He said the department’s Homicide Bureau would investigate the deaths.

There is no indication that that the deaths were related or that foul play was involved, but department sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation said the third and fourth deaths were discovered as word of the earlier deaths were spreading through the agency.

That’s close to the number of NYC officers that committed suicide after the saw weiner’s lap top.

“It is a huge department”

I thought the same and looked it up. It is Los Angeles. They have 18,000 employees. Also the headline said “current and former ...”

A judge recently ordered the release of film footage from inside of their jail showing abuse of prisoners by the deputies. Pictures of deputies might be related to some of the suicides.

Suicide rates are higher in smaller departments .. consistently.

My brother worked in the prison system for a number of years. He said he would trust the prisoners over the other guards any day. He said they were cruel and vindictive.
