In this powerful episode of The Quiet Fight, hosts Dylan and Jason sit down with Darren Mitchel, a retired RCMP Sergeant who spent most of his career on the elite Emergency Response Team (ERT). From high-risk operations to life-and-death decisions, Darren opens up about the intense realities of tactical policing in Canada and the personal cost that came with it.
He shares his raw and deeply human journey through PTSD, the silent battles he faced behind the scenes, and what recovery has looked like after the badge came off. This is a candid conversation about trauma, resilience, and the strength it takes to speak up.
Join us as we explore Darren’s story not just as a cop, but as a survivor, a father, and a man reclaiming his life after service.
