I notice now the news media dont use the words "commit suicide" anymore.

This is dunno number XX case for certis cisco officer to kill himself. IMO the company need to send all of their employees for mental health checkup. RIP. 

Didn't know this kinda job is so depressing.

And so many times they can dont return arms? Something is wrong.

Guess the job might be stressful, so lead to depression?

[kobayashiGT]

It could be a lifestyle also. Security job is very monotone. Just pass time only. people tend to pick up some bad addict like drinking, gambling, drug and hookering to make their life more interesting. But these kinds of stuff have their own risks. you play and you cannot control, you will go down the spiral.

Highly recommend that those who want to renew their security license need to undergo a mental health check.

Probably the guy did not show up to send arms after his duty is over. 

RIP to the poor fella, one must have been driven really hard by the situation to commit suicide. I believe it could be due to other factors other than the job.

Somehow we have quite a number of such cases involving CISCO officers or rather they are the only one with arms beside police. Do they really need to be armed given our strict arm control in Singapore? For high risks areas, probably more stringent screening and higher level of training is required. How about other forms of protections for the officer before any mishap to public.

This is a good idea but recently many cases the person shot is not affected by it. Maybe the voltage set too low?
