What is the Police Leavers Gateway?

 

The Police Leavers Partnership combines years of policing experience with the expertise of occupational psychologists and recruitment. Working closely with the Police Federation, CPOSA, PSA, Unison, and the National Police Wellbeing Service/ Oscar Kilo, we recognise the challenges that officers and staff experience as they leave policing. Building on years of working with colleagues, the Police Leavers Gateway contains the information and guidance they have told us would be key to their leaving well.
 
The Police Leavers Gateway is a digital platform dedicated to helping police officers and staff transition into a life after policing. We provide tailored support, expert guidance and AI driven tools to make your journey smoother and more successful.

What Police Officers / Staff are saying about the Gateway

“It was useful to look and sort of reflect on the translatable skills. And you know from a personal perspective, I've not decided where I want to go beyond policing, but having all the time to think about how the stuff that you do day-to-day and thinking about it can translate into you know industry was helpful”

“The most impactive pre-retirement inputs I have had by far.”

 

“It was so incredibly useful both emotionally and practically. Allowing me to focus on my career journey and reflect on my values and vision of my next chapter with colleagues in a similar position; so invaluable. I never knew I needed these courses until I had done them!”
