Professional Resume Writing
Turn Your Law Enforcement Experience Into a Civilian Career Advantage.
Take the first step toward your next career with a resume built to truly represent your experience. As a former law enforcement officer and private-sector recruiter, I specialize in translating police, military, and first responder backgrounds into clear, compelling narratives that civilian employers immediately understand and respect.
This isn’t about buzzwords or generic formatting. It’s about creating a powerful, professional document that clearly communicates your leadership, decision-making, investigations, risk management, and operational impact, without the law enforcement jargon that often holds candidates back.
What you'll get:
-
Custom-Built Resume from Scratch – Tailored to your unique background, career goals, and target industry, with no templates or shortcuts. Get your resume within 3-4 days!
- Civilian Translation That Makes Sense to Hiring Managers – Your experience is reframed into results-driven language that resonates with corporate, security, risk, compliance, operations, and leadership roles.
- Strategic Storytelling & Positioning – I highlight the “why you” factor... your achievements, scope of responsibility, and real-world impact, so your resume reads like a strong professional narrative, not a duty log.
-
ATS Optimization – There is no "beating" at Applicant Tracking System. However, you can write your resume in a way that is tailored to the industry and roles you are applying to, ensuring you score higher on the ATS scan and get your resume noticed by hiring managers. If you have an industry (or even a specific job!) in mind, I will write your resume to make you a strong fit.Â
-
Unlimited Revisions – I work with you until your resume is 100% polished and ready to launch your next career move.
- Job Specific Tailoring -Â Tailoring your resume towards the specific job you are applying to has become an essential part of the job search process. As part of my Resume Writing service, I will tailor your resume to three jobs of your choosing!
Don’t let an outdated or ineffective resume hold you back. Invest in your future and let us help you stand out from the crowd.

I recently reached out to Colin at Recruiting Heroes about updating my resume and optimizing my LinkedIn page. Colin was incredibly responsive and highly professional with regard to his suggestions and finished products.
