A 29-year-old Chicago police officer had over 5 years on the job before she took her own life in August 2022. She worked in Englewood, one of the toughest and most infamous neighborhoods in Chicago. This is a district so difficult and violent that many officers have attributed it to a 1-to-4-year differential. Every year you work in the 7th District, they say, is equivalent to 4 years in another district. She was active, talented, educated, and loved. This officer had a young child, who is now left without a mother. I cannot imagine the heartbreak felt by the family, and by that little boy. Sadly, the Chicago Police Department lost another 2 officers to suicide weeks after Officer 11337 took her own life. What does the Bible say that can help? https://www.cordico.com/2022/08/03/cops-are-people-too/
