AB Research shows that police officers are at greater risk of suicidal ideation than the general population, with few workers seeking help. However, there is little research on suicidal ideation among police officers. The objective of this study is to conduct a systematic review, categorize, and identify the risk factors associated with suicidal ideation in this particular group, with the aim of preventing suicidal thoughts in these professionals. Articles published between 2018 and 2023 were reviewed using the PsycINFO, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Nine scientific articles were obtained from a total of 119 studies. Being a woman, being older, being single, having high levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, and suffering from anxiety, depression, or alcohol, and substance use are among the risk factors associated with suicidal ideation among police officers. Taking these factors into account is considered essential to improve the well-being of these workers.
