Several police officers in Dolj are under investigation for giving a firearm to a colleague who was undergoing psychiatric treatment, leading to his suicide. The 25-year-old had been diagnosed with severe depression and had his gun rights revoked by superiors. He managed to retrieve his weapon by pretending to be on duty, and shortly after, he shot himself outside the police station. Union representatives are calling for procedural changes to prevent such incidents, highlighting the need for better monitoring of officers' mental health. The officer is currently in critical condition in intensive care, raising questions about the oversight of his mental health issues by his superiors. This incident underscores the urgent need for psychological support within the police force, especially as four officers have committed suicide this year alone.
