dc.description.abstract Researchers have been studying police officers and alcohol abuse for years. They have also examined police suicides. This thesis addressed alcohol abuse and suicidal behavior among police officers. Three police departments were surveyed and results showed there is no statistically significant relationship between alcohol abuse and suicidal behavior among police officers. However, it was determined that age, gender, and years of experience are correlated to alcohol abuse. It was also determined that alcohol abuse prevention training and suicide prevention training at the academy lower indicators of suicidal behavior. en_US
