A mouthful we know!  However these are the key common skills denominators on which the business is built.

We support 6 broad work communities

The mobility of job seekers between these work communities whom possess the key common skills denominators has increase markedly across the last 10 to 15 years.

Policing professionals now regularly move to all of the work communities listed and conversely the policing work sector has opened its eyes to crime prevention & detection, intelligence and crime analysis professionals from other back grounds.

Philip - Former police officer placed in various contract roles via Community Safety Skills including an ASB Officer and Family Intervention Worker.

"I joined the Police at 18yrs and completed my full 30yrs service. However at 48 you are too young to just retire and, as I found out once, I put my toe into the vast employment sea, I had numerous transferable skills.

I think one of my main skills is that I still like people and to that end I wanted to continue to work with people. I wanted to work in a more supportive role and succeeded to get a role as a Family Intervention Worker but to get to that role I had to approach it from a tangent as most agencies once they look at your history as a police officer want to pigeon hole you in an enforcement role.

Fortunately as an Enforcement Officer you link in with other agencies both statutory and voluntary and the opportunity to network is available. I think most employers are also impressed that as an ex police officer you are able to work with minimum supervision and at the same time can be an asset within a team."
