 In light of the tragic incident at a Baxter gun range where a man took his own life, law enforcement is looking at how to better inform the community on the different suicide prevention resources. Baxter Police Chief Jim Eckstead says that the rate of suicide deaths are up in Crowing County and around the country and that law enforcement continues to work hard at raising awareness about the mental illness. Most often times there's a mental health component to it and that's something as law enforcement especially here in the state of Minnesota we've been working extremely hard on to to learn and to understand and to better train our officers and in how to deal with those types of calls. Eckstead also says it is important that people know the different resources that are available in the Brainerd Lakes area for those with depression and thoughts of suicide. The mobile crisis outreach team mobile crisis line they're probably the most important resource that we have. In this area it covers a multi-county area I believe it's Aiken, Crowing, Kass, Morrison, Todd and Wandina those six counties for sure. They've got a 24-hour hotline it's it's available within that resource and there's always counselors available.
