On Sunday, January 2, Deputy Osteen\u2019s family made the very difficult decision to remove him from life support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis morning we learned that Deputy Pacheco, who shared a one-month-old son with Deputy Osteen, took her own life in the wake of Deputy Osteen\u2019s death,\u201d he continued. \u201cWords cannot express the tremendous loss we all feel after losing these two members of our Sheriff\u2019s Office family. As sheriff, I saw these two deputies as young, ambitious, and a great compliment to my already amazing group of professionals. To the general public, and sometimes even myself, it\u2019s easy to view law enforcement as superhuman \u2026 but let\u2019s not forget that they\u2019re human just like us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mascara said that law enforcement deal with the stress from the day-to-day situations they face, and that they take on the stress of those they serve in their communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile it is impossible for us to fully comprehend the private circumstances leading up to this devastating loss, we pray that this tragedy becomes a catalyst for change, a catalyst to help ease the stigma surrounding mental well-being and normalize the conversation about the challenges so many of us face on a regular basis,\u201d he concluded. \u201cWe are not taking media inquiries and ask that you pray for the Osteen and Pacheco families, as well as our Sheriff\u2019s Office family and respect the privacy of those involved during this extremely difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Congressional Research Service said that \u201cthe types of stressful work conditions first responders often experience can contribute to the development of new mental health conditions or exacerbate pre-existing mental health conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cResults from one study, for example, found that firefighter and emergency medical services (EMS) personnel\u2014such as emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics\u2014experience higher rates of lifetime suicidal ideation and attempts than the general population,\u201d the report said. \u201cAnother study found relatively high rates of suicidal thoughts and behaviors among firefighters. EMTs may also have higher rates of suicide than non-EMTs. Similar results have been found in studies on law enforcement, describing a higher risk for suicide amongst police officers compared to the general population. One white paper found that police and firefighters may be more likely to die by suicide than in the line of duty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is a free hotline for individuals in crisis or distress or for those looking to help someone else.
