10 Private-Sector Roles Perfect for Law Enforcement Officers

If you’re a law enforcement professional or public safety expert looking to transition into the private sector, there are a wealth of exciting opportunities available right now. Companies like Amazon, Spokeo, ByteDance, and Flock Safety are hiring for roles ranging from Security and Loss Prevention Specialist to Crisis Specialist, Account Executive in Public Safety, and Safety Training Specialist. Other notable openings include leadership positions such as National Security & Event Operations Director at America250 and Director of Fraud at Publix Employees Federal Credit Union. These roles leverage the investigative, operational, and crisis management skills you’ve honed in your public safety career while offering a path into corporate security, technology, compliance, and intelligence-focused positions.

Landing one of these positions starts with a strong, tailored resume that clearly communicates your skills, accomplishments, and the value you bring to prospective employers. Unlike a police report or training evaluation, a resume is a marketing tool, it’s your first impression and your opportunity to showcase your expertise in a way that resonates with hiring managers in the private sector. Crafting a resume that speaks directly to each role significantly increases your chances of standing out in a competitive applicant pool.
