Greetings
I have been a LEO for 25 years, 21 of those years being with a large city and 4 as a Special Agent with another agency. I also have two master's degree and my bachelor's degree is in law enforcement. My associates degree is in business management.
I am looking to make the transition from law enforcement into possibly as a director of security at a school, business, or hospital in the state of Florida. I am coming up with zero on every aspect of my search.
Any suggestions?
