Introduction: Suicide is a global and serious problem. It is considered a multidimensional phenomenon and its incidence is related to socioeconomic and cultural aspects. Objective: To identify the suicidal epidemiological profile and to assess the increase in suicide cases in the city of Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, Brazil, between 2012 and 2020. Methods: Observational and retrospective study with data collected systematically and provided by the State Department of Justice and Public Security. Results: There was an association between sex and suicide (p<0.0001) and being a man increased the chance of this outcome (PR= 2.731; 95%CI= 2.057 – 3.623). The age group with the highest incidence was between 20 and 39 years old. The most used means in the occurrences were: chemical substances (p<0.0001), asphyxiation (p<0.0001) and firearms and other guns (p=0.004). The year 2019 had the highest overall suicide rate observed during the period (10.43 per 100,000 population), which had been increasing since 2016. Conclusion: The suicidal epidemiological profile observed was characterized by males, aged between 20 and 39 years old, using the asphyxiation method. In addition, there was an increase in suicide rates in the general population of the city.
