have to study law too, just afraid one day if i have to leave the service...where to head to?

Of course if CPIB treat me well, i will stay..all about passion.
Izzit really hard to enter corporate security related job aft years of service in the enforcement?

Study law as in taking a law degree? If yes and you do well there is always the legal service.

sorry i'm not familiar with CPIB. If u enjoy doing investigations & probably lotsa paperwork, i guess that job will be suitable for u. Esp wif all the recent cases they're investigating now, the workload may be quite high.

After u quit, i tink the banks will take in ppl wif your background/experience, esp for corporate investigation roles involving fraud, etc. Not too hard to enter corp security but it's also abt the rite timing. Good luck.

And izzit really hard to find Job after years of service with cpib? Heard they paying out lump sum aft few years of service

To you and others who have been thinking about this route. My answer is avoid it if possible. The only post-police careers are limited to Certis Cisco security industry and perhaps bank credit card fraud investigation. Go find a real job and learn about the real world.

Contract is how many years before they review whether to re-contract?
