US Attorney General William Barr will meet with NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea and other police brass Tuesday to discuss cop mental health issues, including officer suicides, a high-ranking law enforcement source told The Post.

The NYPD suffered its 10th officer suicide of the year in October, already double the previous typical annual number, officials have said.

Barr — in town for the funeral of a Jersey City detective killed in a domestic terror incident last week — is set to meet with Shea, NYPD First Deputy Commissioner Benjamin Tucker and other city police officials, the source said.

In addition to cop mental health issues, the high-level group will likely discuss the death of Jersey City Detective Joseph Seals, the source added.

“I’m sure they will touch on Jersey City because it’s an FBI-led investigation” and under Barr’s purview, the source said.

Shea’s brother is former NYPD cop and now Jersey City Public Safety Director James Shea.
