How your LE experience translates
Financial crimes, fraud, narcotics and organized crime cases, plus interviewing and report writing, map well. You already know how investigators on the other side use the reports these teams write.
What employers usually ask for
Postings often ask for investigation experience, strong writing, comfort with data and spreadsheets, and sometimes certifications such as CAMS or CFE (examples employers list). Many roles are remote.
