Share Your Interview Questions with IACP Net

If you have great interview questions in use at your agency, please consider sharing them with the IACP Net community. Members are often looking for interview questions for new officer candidates, sergeant, lieutenant or captain tests, even questions to ask candidates for chief. If you have questions you'd like to share, please e-mail us at info@login-inc.com, or call your customer service associate with questions. We appreciate your assistance.

Suicide Prevention: A Guide for Supervisory Staff

This brochure was created by the Bureau of Justice Assistance. Statistics show that more than twice as many peace officers die because of suicide than are killed in the line of duty. All police officers have firearms, and firearms are the most frequently used means of suicide. Law enforcement suicide significantly impacts partners, colleagues, supervisors, first responders, family, friends and the community at large. Eighty percent of people who attempt suicide tell somebody first via their actions or actual statements. This document is located in the Core Database under document #611421.
