If you were a police officer and changed career..

[zippyswife]

.. what do you do now?
how did you make the move?
Did you have to take a significant pay cut?

im looking for inspiration.
20 years in but looking for a complete career change…

My mate now works in cyber security, this is not in the UK. He retrained for quite a while but had been paid off after a very serious injury so could take the time to retrain.

Colleague works as a Behaviour manager in a secondary school.not much difference lol

Not me but I know several - undertaker, financial crime role in a bank, private investigations, security, dog trainer.

I know several who work in financial crime / risk / compliance in a bank.

Local Authority functions with enforcement duties would be delighted to employ you

Know several : financial crime / risk / compliance / teacher / plumber / trainee electrician

Oh bless you. I’ve retired now but definitely had that 20 year itch.
i know people that have gone into cyber crime, investigating insurance claims, financial investigators in banking and charity, pastoral care in schools, undertakers, drivers for pharmacies.
Its a big leap but it can be done.

Lots of police officers train to be paramedics, same sense of helping people but in a totally different way
