Members of the RCMP have a far higher tendency to plan to end their life compared to the general public, according to a recent report.
Overall, 15.9 per cent of the police officers have planned to commit suicide throughout their lifetime, and 4.6 per cent planned to do it last year, found the report from National Police Federation (NPF) based on a study by a team of researchers at the University of Regina.
In addition, 34.1 per cent have contemplated killing themselves throughout their life while 11.4 per cent have done so in the past year.
