Overview

These roles are highly technical ICT positions — security engineering, cloud architecture, data science — that require specialist certifications and deep commercial experience. Your policing background in managing incidents or gathering digital evidence does not substitute for the hands-on engineering skills these jobs demand, and most ex-officers would need years of retraining to be competitive.
