A couple hundred officers commit suicide a year. The job is getting worse and those numbers are going up. HCSO has 4200 employees. I’d be a lot more suspicious if they had 400 employees.

“Couple hundred” in Harris county?

I get the factors but all within a few weeks still raises an eyebrow for me at least.

couple hundred across the nation. but Harris county is one of the biggest agencies in the country. While 4 is abnormally high, it's far from unbelievable, especially with the consideration of copycat suicides, which is fairly common. Awhile back a friend on facebook posted a picture of some guys that graduated a couple of years ahead of me at HJ.  10-12 years ago all three shot themselves within a couple of years of each other. In 2024 Harris County lost 4 officers in the line of duty. In 2022 they lost 5 in the line of duty. I guess 4 to suicide doesn't seem that farfetched.
