NYPD bosses are stepping up efforts to encourage troubled cops to get help, after the recent suicides of two officers less than a week apart, sources said.

Many cops are afraid that seeking help for psychological problems could derail their careers, sources said.

Supervisors “want guys to see a psychiatrist at least once a year to see if they have any underlying problems,” one source said.

A second source added, “Cops are dealing with a lot of stress, particularly these young cops.”

Sources told The Post cops worry they could be put on desk duty or get fired if they ask for help.
