TRIGGER WARNING: ⚠️ The following podcast contains frank discussions around PTSD and police trauma which some listeners may find distressing.

That work took its toll on his wellbeing causing his mental health to slowly unravel. But it was also his experiences as a uniformed response officer that ultimately contributed to his PTSD diagnosis. In a frank and graphic conversation, he describes those experiences and how it affected him and his family.
