"You've no idea what I've been through today, last week, last year. You've no idea what I'm capable of. Nobody does! To you I'm just another faceless cop. Now, when I take my hand away you're going to answer me one question. If you don't, I will kill you."
―Ben Mitchell

Sgt. Ben "Mitch" Mitchell is a secondary protagonist in The Getaway: Black Monday. He is a member of the Metropolitan Police Force and is an SO19 Officer. He was suspended from duty a while back because he shot a kid in the back, but he later joined the police again. His boss, Inspector Munroe is suspicious of him but he also respects him. Most of his colleagues have nothing against him, but to begin with, one of them who is called Evans is very cautious of Mitch and even starts a fight with him. After a while, Mitch earns Evans respect as well as all the other SO19 members. Mitch could be described as "trigger happy", meaning that he is not afraid to shoot and kill someone. He has had a tough life which has made him turn violent and angry all the time. When Inspector Munroe is killed, Mitch goes insane and turns his gun on Evans who gets him to calm down. When intelligence learns that an arms deal is taking place between Russians and Yardies, Mitch decides to question Tyler, a member of the Yardie gang who they captured earlier. Mitch threatens to kill Tyler if he doesn't tell him where the deal is taking place. Tyler is scared of Mitch and gives up the location. Mitch is not seen much again until the end of Eddie's story. If Eddie lets Jackie Philips die in Mission 18: Your Man with the Tattoo, then Mitch will be killed by Eddie O'Connor in the final mission of The Getaway: Black Monday because he will attack Eddie for letting Jackie fall to her death. If Eddie saves Jackie, then Mitch will help Eddie take down Viktor in the final mission and will let Eddie go once Viktor is dead.
