Identifying exceptional police leaders is all we do.
We are a premier, boutique-style, national search firm focused solely on recruiting top police executives for our clients.
Our team includes former police chiefs who have more than 75 years of combined public-sector leadership and recruiting experience.
Our extensive national network of police leaders, public-safety professionals, and industry associations helps us identify highly qualified candidates from across the country. We use a disciplined outreach process to recruit experienced police executives who meet or exceed our client’s leadership needs.
Public Sector Search & Consulting believes the police executive search process should include both community and department members. In every project, we provide our clients with a framework to incorporate stakeholders into their search.
Boutique-Style Approach, Personalized Service
We’re different from other recruiting firms because we offer a more personalized approach.
At PSSC, we purposefully limit the number of searches we undertake to ensure each client receives outstanding customer service. Our recruiter is your sole point of contact and will lead the search from start to finish. We have fewer management layers with open and direct communications, which helps us streamline your search.
Our leadership team includes seasoned professionals—industry experts
with the ideal blend of public and private-sector experience.
