Mick Cummins is the Godfather of police veteran peer support. A very humble man who had a policing career spanning several decades and a wide range of work units, including a few stints in Iraq training the locals.

Mick started to dip his toes into the support of his colleagues pretty early on and then once he was done with policing, this accelerated. Along with brilliant Vicky Key, he founded the first peer support network for police veterans.

Mick met with former Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton on multiple occasions and with Vicki, created the program, that is now known as Police Veterans Victoria.

Mick has touched the lives of countless first responders and would have no doubt saved many many lives with his empathy and ability to help in times of need.

Mick is vulnerable and honest in this chat, and it is a ripper.
