It will document my 10 year journey as a Police Officer in Australia and transition back into the real world. (plus it gives me a document of my time before is dispaears into eternity)

The other half will be interviews/profiles of other former officers that have moved on / medically retired with pstd and how leaving the force has effected them.

It may not be the most admired occupation by some, but the after effects can often lead to suicide, so I am to hopefully make it a place that may offer some others some hope.

Feel free to sign up, hopefully should have posts coming this week.

Hey, just a head's up, I was reading your blog and noticed a typo: s/formally/formerly/

> I was formally a Police Officer in the Northern Territory Police Force between 2008 and 2018.

I'm looking forward to reading the rest of it.

[_curious_]

Interesting topic and motive. Hope the first couple steps you've taken become a journey of a thousand. Do you work in tech now or what brings you to HN? I'm always interested in people explicitly outside tech on here...

I did start an IT degree in the old job until they cut the study funding, but have always been a bit of a tinkerer/maker.

But now I'm selling comms and tactical tech back into the LE community. So I get to still play with all the toys, without the responsibility.
