I fail to see your point. Just because cops aren’t in the top 5 for occupational suicides the cops who kill themselves are less dead? The stress is less real?

According to the CDC, public safety careers (police, fire, EMS, corrections) are sixth in overall suicides .By gender, males in public safety careers are also sixth in suicides. Women are second.
