Strategic Military Talent Acquisition
for Law Enforcement
We equip agencies with a multi-channel strategy to secure the nation’s most disciplined personnel. From DoD SkillBridge internships and Army PaYS partnerships to direct access via MSEP, we build the pipelines that deliver mission-ready talent.
The Strategic Imperative
Law enforcement agencies require a predictable, high-quality talent funnel. Over 200,000 service members transition annually; our methodology ensures your agency is positioned to capture this elite pool.
Service Members
Transitioning out of the military annually.
Employment Gap
Do not have secure jobs at separation.
Higher Likelihood
For pursuing law enforcement careers.
Core Competencies
Service members bring more than just experience—they possess core competencies developed through rigorous training that are essential for organizational stability.
Operational Reliability
Military training instills strict adherence to SOPs, high integrity, and unwavering professional conduct, minimizing internal risk.
Proven Leadership
Veterans possess established command and collaboration skills critical for field supervision and seamless teamwork in high-stakes environments.
Crisis Decision-Making
Trained to execute critical decision-making quickly and effectively in dynamic, high-stress scenarios—a non-negotiable trait for policing.
Enhanced Adaptability
Exposure to diverse global environments renders veterans highly adaptable and culturally competent, essential for community-oriented policing.
Meeting the Professional Needs of Service Members
Recent studies identify the top three concerns for transitioning service members. Law enforcement careers uniquely address these needs, making your agency the ideal destination.
Finding a Meaningful Career
Policing offers the same sense of purpose, service, and mission-critical impact that defines military life.
Community Integration
Officers are pillars of their local community, providing an immediate sense of belonging and established identity.
Retaining Camaraderie
The bond between officers mirrors the tight-knit unit cohesion service members fear losing upon separation.
Mitigating Risk: The 5 Strategic Gaps
These strategic gaps lead to inefficient resource allocation and lost opportunities. We provide the expertise to eliminate these risks.
Ineffective Pipeline Sourcing
Reliance on generic channels fails to reach top talent. We establish exclusive, direct sourcing conduits.
Non-Optimized Veteran Pathways
Lengthy processes lead to attrition. We redesign the funnel for expedited, veteran-centric processing.
High Early-Stage Attrition
Lack of mentorship increases turnover. We build structured integration and retention frameworks.
Non-Compliant Management
Lack of technical knowledge risks program suspension. We ensure strong governance and proactive risk avoidance.
Weak Value Proposition
We define a compelling, localized value proposition to compete with federal and defense contractors.
Military Programs Offerings
PHS offers proven expertise in developing tailored programs, navigating complex DoD approval processes, and training your recruiters to effectively engage service members. We invite you to explore each program below to see how we can build your veteran talent pipeline.
DoD SkillBridge: A Force Multiplier for Law Enforcement
DoD SkillBridge is a rapidly growing, highly effective tool for recruiting disciplined talent. The program allows active-duty service members to spend their final 180 days of service working directly within your agency, gaining hands-on experience while still receiving their military pay and benefits. This provides a unique, no-cost evaluation period for both the agency and the candidate.
PHS partners with your agency to fully leverage this opportunity. We create a comprehensive military-focused talent map to identify key recruitment sources. We analyze your specific staffing needs and selection processes to build a compliant, high-performing SkillBridge program. Finally, we train your recruiters so they have a self-sustaining program, ensuring a steady stream of pre-qualified, motivated veteran candidates.
