great honest and open chat you clearly made Matt feel at ease. All of us abused by the misconduct process have same feelings and know what it is like to have support removed when being treated for psychological trauma
I am a retired Police Detective who worked for Essex Police for 22 years. I medically retired way back in 2000 so yes I am pretty old now. I just wanted to congratulate you for your innovation and podcasts. I have listened to a few of them now and can tell you that the Police have always ill treated and broken their own and haven’t improved at all since my day. I am saying that this treatment is not something new but until now I am wasn’t aware that there was an outlet for these accounts of time in service. I mean it when I say a sincere thank you to you. I will end by saying to you and Matt Homan that the nightmares don't go away and after 25 years of retirement I still infrequently get them.
