An article in the Toledo Blade looks at the suicide of a local police chief and quotes John Violanti, research professor in social and preventive medicine, who said, "It's the idea that police are problem-solvers, not people with problems. That's part of the culture, and it's bad because a lot of officers are reluctant to go for help when they need it." Go to article.
