Leaving law enforcement doesn’t mean leaving leadership, purpose, or impact. In this episode of Cop to Corporate: Life After Law Enforcement, host Sam T. sits down with Jeremy Baumann, former police officer and CEO of Corporate Security Advisors, to explore what it really takes to transition from patrol to the private sector—and build a meaningful, successful career on the other side.

Drawing from real-world experience across rural policing, large-scale corporate security operations, and executive leadership, Jeremy offers an unfiltered look at the challenges officers face when making the jump. This conversation goes beyond job titles and resumes, delivering practical insight on mindset shifts, translating law enforcement skills to business, avoiding common missteps, and why humility, networking, and long-term thinking are critical to thriving after the badge.
