Shielded Voices: Enduring the Badge: Building Resilience in Modern Policing #024

In this solo episode, Mitch opens up about the personal side of wearing the badge—what the job takes from you, how the warning signs show up, and what it really means to hit a breaking point.This isn’t a story about heroism. It’s about honesty. About struggling silently with PTSD, depression, and alcoholism while still showing up to work. It’s about how the job changes you—and what recovery can look like when you finally stop pretending everything is fine.Mitch shares what helped him pull through, how he’s doing today, and why we need to redefine what resilience actually means in law enforcement.To request the “Enduring the Badge” PowerPoint presentation for training or peer support, email [email protected].
