How do we prepare for our next career? For those of us that have, and many more preparing to retire, we often get asked…what are you going to do when you retire? After serving two, three, or even four or more decades in public service, that can be a daunting question. For some, this may not be the case; you may have a rock-solid plan in place. Unfortunately, that is not quite the case for many that are thinking about transitioning into another career outside of the one we have spent much of our adult life living. We will all be a former Law Enforcement professional at some stage in our lives – are you prepared?
