The Suicide Rate Among Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart's Officers is 50 TIMES HIGHER THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE but Tom Dart is more worried about freeing jail inmates than his officers

Another Cook County Deputy Sheriff has sadly committed suicide last week. The suicide rate in the Sheriff's office is 50 times higher than the national average. Sadly, the most recent deputy who committed suicide reached out to the department for help, says source..

Chief Brad Curry and Eddie Avant have begun interviewing deputies after a recent survey revealed major morale issues in the Sheriff's Deputy Division. The interviews were conducted after the most recent suicide.

Shocking suicide statistics in the Sheriff's office.

Cook County Sheriff office has the highest officer suicide rate of any police agency in the entire country.

High Ranking Source in the Cook County Sheriff office says Sheriff Tom Dart has good reason he refuses to release the statistics on officer suicides on his office. The numbers are quite shocking compared to the national average... The Cook County Deputy Division has a suicide of 1 per 95 officers since 2007, while the national average is 18.1 per 100,000 officers.  In simplistic terms, the Cook County Deputy Division has a suicide rate 52 times higher than the national average of police agencies..

Call on the FOP to have a public 'NO Confidence Vote' on Dart and his upper management. Or are we just going to sit on our hands and wait for the next suicide?
