The Blue Light Leavers Podcast
By Andy Labrum
If you’re a Police Officer, Law Enforcement Officer or support staff, serving or retired or considering leaving the Police, then this is for you! Every episode, I’ll bring you interviews with subject matter experts like CV writers, recruiters, business and mindset coaches, senior executives and more plus interviews with officers who have successfully transitioned to new roles. We’ll discuss why and how they did it, their fears, how they overcame them, lessons learned and what life is like outside of the job. I’m your host Andy Labrum, welcome to The Blue Light Leavers Podcast
