Beale Air Force Base - Sofi, 9th Security Forces Squadron (SFS) military working dog, waits with her handler Staff Sgt. Jason Herrier, at a simulated checkpoint during military working dog detection training on Beale Air Force Base, California, Nov. 19, 2020. The checkpoint simulated an environment to familiarize the working dog with detection of explosives in approaching vehicles and while conducting search procedures. Without training similar to this, the amount of odor produced by the explosives overwhelms the dog’s smell, resulting in either fringe responses or responding before the vehicle stops at the checkpoint.

National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month

September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. Team Beale is using this opportunity to highlight the importance of seeking help and to share vital information and resources with our service members and families.  

Many individuals think about or attempt suicide. In 2023, Over 49,000 people died by suicide – one death every 11 minutes. 12.8 million seriously thought about suicide, 3.7 million planned for suicide, and 1.5 million attempted suicides, per the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.  

Every member of the Beale community plays a vital role in suicide prevention. By recognizing warning signs, mitigating risks, and seeking help, we can all make a difference. Even a simple check-in can save a life. If you or someone you know needs help, please call or text 988 or go to 988lifeline.org.
