Suicide by Cop
Demographic and Historical Indicators
Reported
suicidal communications
(87
%)
On psychiatric medications (42%)
Mental

Under psychological care (30%)
Past suicidal ideation (86%)
Prior

Verbal threats to harm others (70%)
Under

during the incident (61%) (of these,
79
% mention SBC specifically
) Slide29
Suicide by Cop
Police Indicators
Less lethal force
initially deployed (39%)
More rounds fired
if deadly force used
This study
continues a long line of empirical evidence that
sets straight the widely
held, but
false belief
, that there is a
negative
correlation
between
suicidal risk and homicidal risk
. In fact, the
opposite appears
to be true
: a suicidal individual poses a
greater risk
of homicide
or at least violence toward others
, than a
non-suicidal
individual.
Law enforcement apprehension of an armed, suicidal
individual requires
a
high degree of vigilance
for the
safety of all civilians and officers
at the scene of the incident.Slide30
Responding to Threats of Suicide
To increase
Officer
S
afety
and gain
Intel
:
#1 Call
subject via phone prior to contact
Connect
prior to
Directing – Make Connection
Method of Suicide –
Weapons
What type ?
Handgun
vs
Scoped Rifle
Military Veteran ? Training and Weapons
Listen
to demeanor and emotions
Others
in house/vehicle with them
Threats of Suicide
allows you to
“Ping” cellphones
to find their locationSlide31
Threat of Suicide
by COP
Contact with Suicidal Person with Weapon
Isolate and Contain if possible – Specialty Units
SBC Subject is likely going to push the event to make police take action – BE PREPARED !
Warnings
that
Lethal Force
maybe used or
Less Lethal
if appropriate and
Only if Time permits
Remember subject doesn’t have to point
a weapon
at you or others
to perceived
as an immediate threat of
harm
Cover and Backup
One Officer talks
and
Cover Officer is Prepared to shoot – 48% fire at officers
Not Hollywood – One Shot Myth – Reactionary Gap
Consider
Rifle
vs
Handgun
and
Shot PlacementSlide32
Allen v Muskogee:
Many cases emphasize the need for enhanced decision making skills with respect to use of
force decisions
.
Allen
v. Muskogee[viii] serves as one example. In Allen, officers responded to a call of
a
suicidal
man.
Upon their arrival at the scene they observed Mr. Allen, seated alone, in his vehicle with
a gun
.
Within
90 seconds
of their arrival, the officers rushed the car in an attempt to disarm Mr. Allen,
rather than
isolating and negotiating
with him. When the officers rushed the car, Allen made a
sudden movement
toward the officers leading the officers to believe they were in danger of being shot.
The officers
opened fire and killed Allen.Slide33
