For those transitioning from active duty, either separation or retirement, I highly recommend law enforcement as a career. There is a need for veterans within the ranks of law enforcement. Depending on where you live, there are most likely openings for which you can apply and the best part, most have a veterans preference.

Merely applying doesn't guarantee you will be hired and most agencies, especially in California, require at least two years of college. You will have to pass a background and possibly psychological evaluation and be in good shape. If you have experience in Cybersecurity, Information Technology or another technical field, this is a plus.

I highly recommend this career field for it's challenges and opportunities.

If anyone has a question, feel free to message me. I'll tell you the good, bad and just ugly parts of the job. I had a great career and my military experience was very beneficial a number of times.

Regards,

Tom

In the military, you get used to changing jobs or locations every few years. It's the same in Law Enforcement, so you are always training for the next job and building on your experiences. Good luck!
