Navigating Your Post-Policing Career

This episode discusses a report by the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), supported by the Motorola Solutions Foundation, focusing on career transitions and retirement for police executives. It examines how police chiefs and sheriffs can find meaning and purpose in the next stage of their careers, moving beyond the traditional concept of full retirement. The report offers advice and insights from retired and semi-retired law enforcement leaders on planning for life after policing, whether through new employment, consulting, teaching, or other activities, emphasizing the importance of early preparation, networking, and recognizing transferable skills. It also addresses the challenges and potential difficulties that can arise during this transition.
