Our story.
The Global Consortium Group is the first of it’s kind, born to fill a critical gap in the consulting world.
Too often, traditional consulting lacks firsthand experience with the unique challenges of public safety, leaving organisations with strategies that miss the mark.
We created the Global Consortium Group to change that.
We are a worldwide network of public safety professionals, who have united to deliver unparalleled support to safety organisations globally.
Our consortium is made up of seasoned public safety professionals–former police officers, firefighters, federal investigators, criminal intelligence managers, senior public safety leaders, and more–who have lived the realities of the job.
We understand the complex pressures, risks, and demands that come from protecting communities, because we’ve been there.
Now, we’re here to share that expertise with you.
Our mission is simple: to save lives and protect communities worldwide, by supporting public safety organisations.
