Sister of officer who died by suicide says NYPD is 'broken'

On duty, New York City police officers must always prepare for life-threatening violence, but annually, more officer lives are claimed by suicide, according to the Associated Press. The NYPD is well aware of this mental health emergency, as nine of its officers have died by suicide since January. But Eileen Echeverria, whose brother's was the most recent death, said something is "broken" inside the department. "I begged them to help my brother. Not once, not twice, half a dozen times at least ... It's an epic failure. And this is not the last one. I hope to God it is," she said. NYPD officer Bobby Echeverria died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at his home in Queens on Wednesday. Eileen's brother, who worked in the department for 25 years, left behind a wife and two children. His was the second NYPD suicide within a week, and the seventh since June. N.J.
