[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the OP read the article they linked to, it’s clear that low pay is an issue. Low paying, high risk, high stress jobs are not attractive. 
OP, do you yourself have a low paying, high stress, high risk job?  If not, then you likely understand what’s behind the “crisis”.

Yeah OP admonished us to read the article carefully but didn’t do that him/herself. First of all, it’s the Detroit Police Department and the Wayne County Sheriffs Office, and clearly $36,000 per year is not going to cut it. That’s embarrassing.[/quote]

That’s crazy low.  I have several family members who are LEOs in other states who make a decent living, especially with overtime.  I get that people don’t want to pay more in taxes but geesh.  Services won’t be there when people need them.[/quote]
When someone is threatening suicide, do you want a cop to show up and point a gun at the person, or do you want a mental health professional to show up and de-escalate the situation?[/quote]

Do you mean when other family members are present and unable to deal with the suicidal person?[/quote]

PSA: Family members are not qualified to deal with suicidal people[/quote]
