Abstract
Public safety personnel (PSP), including Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), have previously reported substantial suicide-related difficulties. The challenges raised concerns from the National Police Federation (NPF), policymakers, and lawmakers about better protection of RCMP mental health. The current study used self-report survey data to provide updated estimates of past-year and lifetime suicidal ideation, planning, and attempts among RCMP. Data were also collected for past and current screens for mental health disorders. The current RCMP sample reported statistically significant higher percentages of lifetime and past-year suicidal ideation and planning than previous RCMP and PSP samples. There were numerous statistically significant associations reported between lifetime and past-year suicidal ideation and behaviours, and past and current mental health disorder symptoms.
