FEEDBACK
In today’s rapidly evolving professional landscape, law enforcement officers often find themselves contemplating their career trajectories within or beyond the law enforcement profession. “Beyond the Thin Blue Line: Career Strategies for Law Enforcement Officers” is a comprehensive lecture designed to equip law enforcement professionals with the necessary skills and strategies to transition effectively into new career opportunities, whether within or outside the law enforcement sector. Colin Whittington, a former deputy sheriff, 2019 Deputy Sheriff of the Year for the entire State of Virginia, Founder and CEO of Recruiting Heroes LLC, and best-selling author of Beyond the Thin Blue Line, shares his expertise developed throughout a career in law enforcement and the recruiting industry. Colin will draw from his own successes and failures during his transition to the private sector as well as hundreds of conversations with local, state, and federal law enforcement officers who have transitioned to the civilian workforce. Participants will learn the current best practices for resume writing, optimizing their LinkedIn profiles, the power of networking, job interviewing, and career opportunities in the civilian sector. Law enforcement leaders will also learn of the importance and benefit of providing this information to their officers early in their career including the incredible power it can have in recruiting new talent to their agencies who will be impressed with the emphasis these leaders place on supporting their officers both within and after law enforcement.
