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.

  • Sorry if I have missed something here but assuming your interest is in HR or L&D is there no way that you can ask your current employer about opportunities within the organisation within the relevant department? Can you for example ask about the potential for a secondment if an opportunity arises that aligns with your career aspirations?
