London, Friday 8 May 2026, Close Protection World is inviting UK police officers and police staff who are considering life beyond policing to attend the CPWorld Summer Conference in London free of charge.
The move out of policing can be a major professional and personal transition. Official support has developed in recent years through Oscar Kilo’s leavers package and the Police Leavers Gateway, which offers practical and emotional support to those leaving policing. These resources include CV preparation, digital profile guidance, interview preparation, volunteering guidance and wider support for navigating transition out of the service. The current police leavers work under the Police Covenant has been developed specifically to improve how officers move into the next phase of their careers.
For officers who are considering the private security and close protection sector, the CPWorld Summer Conference offers a serious opportunity to explore that next step in an industry setting. Attendees will be able to hear from speakers, meet employers and training providers, engage with exhibitors and build a clearer picture of how operational policing experience may transfer into commercial security and close protection roles.
The event is designed to provide direct industry exposure rather than vague career messaging. For those weighing up a second career, that matters. It offers access to the sector, the people in it and the kinds of standards, expectations and opportunities that shape it.
UK police officers who are considering a transition into private security or close protection are invited to attend free of charge. To secure a free ticket, please email admin@closeprotectionworld.com from your work email address so that your police affiliation can be verified.
The 2026 London event will feature:
• Guest speakers
• Presentations
• Exhibitors
• Workshops
• Networking
• Charity raffle
