Our fifth episode welcomed Ben Pearson, now retired police traffic officer (PC1965) and former star on Channel 5’s hit show, Police Interceptors. Ben spent nearly 2 decades working in the force, facing numerous road traffic collision incidents, high speed chases and unfortunately, a number of fatal call outs. The accumulation of these events, as well as some heart wrenching personal events, culminated in huge burdens placed on Bens psychological health. He has since retired from the force, spending his time as a huge mental health advocate and writing about his experiences during his career (buy Bens book here) to try to help others handle the difficult moments they come up against.
