I recently became employed as an employee relations manager and work with law enforcement officers. A stunning statistic I just read stated that the average law enforcement officer only lives for 5 years after they retire. Then they die. If you figure in the fact that most law enforcement officers retire young, between 45-55 years of age, this statistic become even more stunning. Could it be they have a difficult time finding themselves after they retire from all the stress?

I couldn't help but think there is an opportunity in this statistic somewhere. I'm thinking starting some type of pre-retirement seminar for anyone entering the retirement stage. Not to address money, insurance, etc. But instead focus on coaching the officers to identifying themselves, their dreams, what they want out of retirement, etc.

Does anyone know of any programs, books or tapes that addresses similar questions? Kinda like a Square Qone Workshop for retirees. Specifically law enforcment personnel.

Thanks in advance.
