Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The careful examination of identity and later-life work behaviors among retired police officers is largely absent in the literature. Two-hundred and eleven retired police officers participated in a survey designed to examine the impact of structural and personality identity components regarding participation in bridge employment or employment upon retiring from primary careers in law enforcement. Although the individual and most of the structural identity factors were unrelated to working in retirement, retired officers who held part-time positions while fully employed as police officers were more likely to participate in bridge employment when compared to individuals who did not hold additional part-time employment while fully employed as police officers.Exploratory analyses indicate that integrity, service orientation, the self perception of occupational stereotypes, and life satisfaction significantly predict career embeddedness. The unique factors of retired police officer subculture as potentially distinct from early career officers are discussed. Opportunities for training and interventions exist to help retired police officers navigate the working transition at this later-life juncture.
