Summary
In this episode of the Pocket Sergeant Podcast, I speak with Michelle Websdale about the life and death of her former partner, Ben — a police custody sergeant who served for 24 years.
Michelle shares who Ben was as a man, a father and a colleague, before discussing the events that followed his arrest by Professional Standards and the impact the investigation had on his mental health. She speaks openly about the inquest, the support (and lack of support) provided, and the wider questions this raises about police welfare and internal investigations.
This is an honest and emotional conversation about policing, accountability, mental health and the human cost when systems fail.
If you work in policing or have experienced similar challenges, this episode may resonate with you.
If you are struggling, please seek support. You are not alone.
