Please let me know if anyone is aware of this scenario.. Leaving JP Morgan is completely personal JPMorgan Chase

Law enforcement in general is kind of like the infantry.
They get you in and the entire system is built so it's harder than hell to get out. I'm in Texas and I have an absolute boatload of professional experience but our state regulatory body, TCOLE, has extremely few legitimate certifications to match professional experience. So whenever you interview for a position outside of law enforcement and they ask for your professional certifications... you got nothing.
Look at the IT industry for comparison. They have a legitimate certification for just about everything. Every program, every system, and damn near every piece of hardware.
Maybe I'm just a bit bitter after all these years but you would be hard-pressed to try to convince me that there's not some element of intent behind this. They have an extremely hard time luring people into law enforcement... Especially now. So I can't help but believe that this system is by design to keep us here.
Lol I was literally Infantry in the USMC and in 1991 it was hard to get a Law Enforcement job. Now I am retired from a federal agency (still no degree) it feels the same. Getting a job has been hard as hell. Of course geographic location is important also.
Well, I do Security
Id enjoy security work. Just would love to do some type of type of corporate security or use some of my analytical skills in the security field
Where are you located?
What about you
My recommendation is begin diversifying through professional certifications, training, and formal education. For most of us, we focused our training throughout our career on how to be more effective on the street. Eventually, we learn that we need to figure out the next chapter. Decide a few avenues you may want to take in a few years, and begin planning to make yourself marketable in whatever fields those are.

You could always do private security
FBI, CIA, DEA, ATF? If not, you could always start a PI office. The work my buddy does is mostly catching spouses cheating or catching runaway teens, though...
