Specialist CV writing for serving and former police officers transitioning to
new opportunities
I understand the unique obstacles of transitioning from policing to civilian employment
✗ Police Jargon & Acronyms
Terms like "PNC", "NFA", or "THRIVE" mean nothing to civilian employers.
✓ Clear Communication
I translate police terminology into universally understood professional language.
✗ Underselling Experience
Police officers often undervalue their transferable skills when applying for civilian roles.
✓ Value Amplification
I identify and amplify the accomplishments that will impress civilian recruiters and hiring managers.
✗ Generic Role Descriptions
Simply listing your rank and duties doesn't convey what you actually achieved.
✓ Achievement-Based Content
I craft achievement-focused descriptions that showcase tangible results and leadership impact.
✗ Unclear Decision-Making Authority
Employers may not understand the scope of your responsibilities and authority under pressure.
✓ Contextualised Impact
I provide commercial context that helps employers understand the complexity and scale of your role.

"John was very helpful and gave a personal service, which was not rushed. His expertise was valuable and enabled me to produce something I could never have produced on my own."
Dave Campbell — Police Federation, Workplace & Branch Board Representative, Metropolitan Police
"I had previously cobbled together what I thought was a solid CV. I was, therefore, left very surprised by my lack of success at securing interviews. I simply could not understand why recruiters were not clambering to snap me up. I mentioned it to a friend, who recommended I contact John Logan. She explained that after using his services, recruiters had proactively sought her out, stating her CV had left them wanting to meet her, to learn more. John was very chatty and personable, which made the process engaging and interesting. He spent time meticulously asking me key questions to ensure he fully understood my skills, knowledge, objectives and expectations. John produced a fully bespoke CV, utilising his comprehensive understanding of my working life and objectives, to capture audiences I sought to attract, whilst showcasing my key knowledge and experiences. I was recently contacted by a recruiter whom I had applied to work for. They said they had seen my CV and were so impressed that they wanted to interview me for a more senior role than what I had applied for. I cannot rate John's services highly enough. A consummate professional and an expert in the field."
Mary Axton — Chief Inspector, Metropolitan Police
"A really knowledgeable and credible character you can rely on in building your CV to a professional standard. A lot more was offered than just a CV — we spent a long time over periods of days making things perfect. You gain a good insight into how companies decipher you from others, which is invaluable to know."
