This project proposes to improve the validity of police suicide death classifications and examine correlates of police suicide. Vena's, et al., (1986) municipal worker cohort will be updated and utilized as a police suicide comparison base instead of the general population. An assessment of the accuracy and comparison of "official" suicide rates will be performed on a police group and two other municipal worker groups. Death classifications in the three comparison groups will have the following measures applied to determine if they are true suicides or non-suicides: (1) Rosenberg's, et al., (1988) Operational Criteria for the Determination of Suicide; (2) Judgements of three medical examiners who will not have knowledge of the decedent's occupation or cause of death; and (3) records of death certificates, medical examiner's reports, autopsy reports, and police records. Analysis of determined true suicide data will include sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value of police suicide rates as compared to the two other municipal worker groups. The hypothesis is that police rates are generally less sensitive and specific than other worker groups. A generalizable police sensitivity proportion formulation will be developed which may be useful for comparison purpose in other police suicide studies. In addition to improving suicide rate accuracy, this study will tabulate police specific suicide correlates from written historical data and records.

该项目建议提高警察自杀死亡的有效性 分类并检查警察自杀的相关性。 Vena's等， （1986）市政工人队列将被更新并用作警察 自杀比较基础而不是普通人群。评估 “官方”自杀率的准确性和比较将是 在警察团体和另外两个市政工人团体上表演。死亡 三个比较组中的分类将具有以下 用于确定它们是真正的自杀还是非自杀的措施： （1）Rosenberg's等，（1988）确定的操作标准 自杀； （2）三名医学检查员的判断 了解死者的职业或死因； （3）记录 死亡证明，体检医师的报告，尸检报告和 警方记录。 确定的真实自杀数据的分析将包括灵敏度， 与警察自杀率的特异性和预测价值相比 其他两个市政工人团体。假设是警察利率 通常比其他工人群体更敏感和特异性。 可推广的警察敏感性比例将是 开发的可能对其他警察的比较目的有用 自杀研究。除了提高自杀率的准确性外， 研究将列出警察特定的自杀与书面的相关性 历史数据和记录。
