This week, we share the powerful journey of Kwesi Millington—a former RCMP officer whose life changed forever after a tragic 2007 incident at YVR.

Despite being cleared by three police forces, years later a national inquiry and special prosecutor led to Kwesi being convicted of perjury and serving jail time for a crime he maintains he didn't commit.

But this story isn't about guilt or innocence.
It's about identity, pressure, mental health, and rebuilding your life when the world thinks it already knows who you are.

Kwesi's resilience came from sharing his story, owning his pain, and discovering that:

"When you share, you heal. And in our imperfections, we make the deepest connections."

Today he's a Speaker, Coach, and Health Coach, helping others rise through adversity with mindset, discipline, and purpose — values that define The Sentinel Mindset.

If you're navigating pressure, rebuilding after failure, or working toward policing or security…

Most people run the PREP test.

Almost nobody thinks they can walk it and finish with an elite time.

But in this week's Sentinel Mindset episode, Coach Jason Butler from The Arena does exactly that — completing the PREP in 2:06, fully WALKING the entire circuit.

This video is for every policing hopeful who has ever thought:

❌ "I'm not fast enough."

❌ "I'm not athletic enough."

❌ "I can't pass the PREP."

We're here to show you:

YES, you can.

This episode breaks down:

✔ How proper technique beats raw speed

✔ Why efficiency matters more than sprinting

✔ How walking the PREP can still impress recruiters

✔ The exact strategies Jason used to finish with time to spare

If you're chasing a career in law enforcement, this will change the way you train — and the way you believe in yourself.

A viral video from Toronto last week showed a police vehicle inadvertently rolling forward and running over a suspect and an officer during an arrest. The immediate reaction is often shock, but what really happens in these high-stress moments?

On our latest episode of The Sentinel Mindset, we sit down with Steve Summerville, former Staff Sergeant with Toronto Police, who provided context to this very incident. We explore the human factor behind the headline.

We dive into:

• The "fight, flight, or freeze" response and how it physically impacts an officer's decision-making, including increased heart rate, tunnel vision, and cognitive impairment .

• Why a veteran officer might make a simple error, like forgetting to put a vehicle in park, during a dynamic critical incident .

• Evidence-based strategies for officers to manage acute stress reactivity, including the science of physiological control and resilience training .

This conversation is crucial for anyone in public safety, leadership, or community relations. It moves beyond blame to understand the physiology of high-stress situations and how we can better prepare our frontline personnel.
