MORE THAN A COP 

It can be daunting and confusing to visualise life after Police. Recognising your service with NSW Police Force we want to continue to support you through your career transition.

If you are unable to return to work with NSW Police Force due to medical restrictions these resources aim to provide you with all the information and support services that you require to manage your transition.

This initiative has been a partnership between NSW Police and EML.

Together we are committed to continually improving the process so that we do all we can to support current and former officers,” Deputy Commissioner Mal Lanyon APM.
