There comes a time when we have had enough. Who works in the emergency services, in particular in the police force is tough. The years take us down until we become disillusioned. We become frustrated with the lack of management support, aware and protective of our mortality, suffering from long hours of work, tired of shift work and the seriousness of what we do on a daily basis. Become mentally, emotionally and physically burned.
So, what can we do? Where do we go from here? What are we good for?
Many suppose that our qualifications and skills are only good for similar careers, such as job security and private investigations, that leaves us with a feeling or disappointed that we chose to do more of the same, because it is easy; only the exchange of a job for another job that has all the same problems. However, what we overlook is what we learn along the way in our work of emergency services, which really sets us apart. The ability to communicate and the ability to perform well under pressure are invaluable assets that many of us take for granted. If we focus on those unique qualities which will lead us and think outside the box, a world of opportunity opens.
Re-Invention is simply to do something different. It requires us to direct our skills to another career. We have to take what we already have and apply it to something new, and then build on those skills. To do this, we must begin to look at ourselves in a different way; judge ourselves positively and give ourselves a little 'credit for the knowledge that we have accumulated. We must lengthen the belief that we merely think that we qualify only for a small range of careers.

such as emergency services and ex-Police we are most afraid when we leave is venturing into the unknown out of our comfort zone and what we have known for so long. A fear of leaving and not being able to go back is common. A fear of making you break into the outside world and missing the camaraderie of comfort that is second to none in a career in which security is often dependent on each other. Mateship is more than just friendship among the ranks of the emergency services, a good companion can save your life - literally.
With the qualifications mentioned above, the former police and other emergency services add tremendous value to other companies. It 'important that we value ourselves enough to take that risk and try something different. Many ex-Police make the move into a sales career because they are accustomed to bringing people with ease; they master sales techniques along the way. Starting something part-time, before submitting his resignation to the boss might be a good start, gaining confidence slowly and guarantee an income before you permanently move. A great place to start is in your magazine. There are usually ads in there by former members who are now established in external companies and needing assistance. It is an easier move, joining likeminded people in business who understand and are looking for specific skills that emergency workers possess.
