Career change from police officer

Hello,

I have worked in the police now for almost 10 years but would like to leave. My most recent role has been in an L&D environment but still as a frontline officer.

Most of the roles that I am finding an interest in require a CIPD qualification.

Does anyone have any advice on where to start as I am worried about paying a lot of money into a career that I could later decide isn't for me.

I have very little experience outside of the police so it is quite a daunting thought to leave and I ideally don't want to drop my salary too much.

  • The easiest and cheapest way to find out if moving to a new professional area is right for you is to simply try and speak to as many professionals in that area as possible. This could be via LinkedIn, local CIPD branch etc.

    It might cost you the price of a few phone calls or coffees but having a chat with a wide range of HR people will give you a good idea if HR is for you.
