Though there are generally heavy resources dedicated to how to become a cop, how to get one of the border patrol jobs or the simple way to obtain one of the fascinating CIA jobs but there are only a few resources created to help these civil servants with retiring from jobs in law enforcement when they are ready to step down or transition industries. Daniel W. Draz, M.S, CFE is a crime investigator and Principal of Fraud Solutions, a private sector crime and inquiry consulting firm. In an article distributed online titled, "The Top Ten Steps Law Enforcement Personnel Should Take To Guarantee Success When Transitioning To The Private Sector", Daniel consults with public law enforcement professionals on how they can better achieve a smooth changeover into non-public sector roles after their careers in criminal justice with regulatory and compliance opportunities.
The following is his top ten list for transitioning law enforcement professionals into private investigation jobs, regulatory jobs or detection of fraud jobs:
Prior to starting looking
1) Get ready for success: Daniel recommends law enforcement employees begin to contemplate retirement from public service 24 months prior to leaving a public service job
2) Get a soundly prepared resume: find the advice and service of a resume writing/consulting firm that specializes in the regulatory industry who understands the jargon
3) Talk with industry authorities: take on a mentor and seek the advice of insiders
And after you've landed your job in the private sector
4) Don't be a silo: learn how to create relations with company leadership and network outside of your domain
5) Learn the regulatory compliance lingo: become smooth in regulatory and compliance terminology
6) Know the bottom line: understand how your job affects the prosperity of those you are seeking employment from
7) Learn how to secede in the "C Suite": center your endeavors and goals with those of senior management
8) Modify your communication efforts to fit: adopt business style writing and etiquette
9) Seek additional training and pro development: continuing education and professional development in the non-public sector is critical to expansion
10) Learn the business approach: develop a cooperative attitude and establish robust business relations within the organization. These will be your supporters and allies
Those that have jobs in law enforcement continue to face larger challenges with careers in criminal justice and security in terms of employment and training. Understanding this, firms such as Fraud Solutions and UsersUnite will continue to be committed to providing excellent resources for professional expansion and transition.
