Transitioning from the Police to the Private Sector in EP | Scott Hamer

How can the 'verbal Judo' skills from policing translate into the
private sector of EP and what can both learn from each other?
Join recently retired Royalty and Specialist Protection
specialist Scott Hamer as we explore:


What should operators in the police better understand before
transitioning to the private sector?

How can one assess the motives behind seeking EP employment
after retiring from the police and why does that matter?

What are the key verbal judo skills that will assist a
transitioning colleague beyond their police career?

What new technology can the private sector expect to see
after having first being used in the public sector?
