Cst. Todd Mason talks about dealing with a challenging situation in his negotiator role only 2 weeks before being rundown by a stolen car on Pandora Ave on September 27, 2021. Not only did he suffer physical injuries but the mental and emotional effects of both incidents were just as devastating. Todd talks about the lack of support from Victoria City Council and other factors that contributed to a long and dark few months after the incident.
Later in this episode, Todd goes into detail about what he remembers after being hit by the car and how he thought he was going to die.
Part 2 of Todd's interview will be out soon where he talks about the challenges of dealing with life after a severely traumatic incident and his residential treatment program at Homewood Ravensview.
