The Acadiana law enforcement community is reminding one another that help is available after a deputy s suicide this week.
The Lafayette deputy took his own life Monday in his patrol unit outside the sheriff s office.
Earlier in the morning the deputy posted a number of videos to social media touching on a number of topics, including mental health for law enforcement.
Lafayette City Marshal Reggie Thomas says he is sympathetic and that the stigma for officers to not get help is a battle they continue to overcome.
